Overview

We seek to prepare our students for media careers and for participation in their communities as civic leaders.

In the Mass Communication/Broadcasting program, from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, we hold that our measure of success is found in our students’ contribution to both the professional world and the larger community.

Key Features

Our faculty, staff and students seek to enhance both the life of the department and the university by connecting with media professionals through a variety of activities including student organizations (NABJ, NBS, SPJ) internships, service learning projects, award competitions, consulting liaisons, and research analysis. In regional and national contests, students enter broadcast news stories that garner awards from professionals in the field.

Students collect data by surveys and focus groups to guide decision making for electronic media, and production companies also turn to our students when film and video projects are made for both private and professional distribution.
