Broadcasting Concentration
Bachelor of Science Degree, Communications Major
A Graduate’s Perspective
I’m so thankful for all the opportunities I’ve been given at PCC. I’ve gained valuable hands-on training in the field of broadcasting while operating television cameras, running a live radio station for the student body, and announcing for basketball games. Through these activities, I received one-on-one training with my instructors, allowing me to improve my skills. I was also given an opportunity to work at Rejoice Radio, PCC’s worldwide radio station.
