Overview

Quite simply, the students in the Media Production program of the University of Houston learn how to tell a good story. We then hone their visual communication and oral presentation skills so that they have a solid foundation for any production career they pursue. From film cinematography to broadcast news, there is no limit to what our students can do.

Key Facts

To help their training, our school is home to the Lance T. Funston Communication Center, a state-of-the-art media and content production facility that includes two production studios connected via a large control room. The Funston Center hosts many of our media production labs, which give students the opportunity to work with the technologies needed to create successful productions. In addition, editing and audio suites are available for students to use, all complete with all the necessary software to make any project look professional. Writing, producing, directing, and editing are all skills that will be honed at the Valenti School of Communication.
