Overview

We believe the outcome of this learning experience is visible through students’ clear expression and compelling use of audio, video, graphics and text in electronic media.

University of Louisiana at Lafayette's faculty and students are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of professionalism, and advancing broadcast media communication as both a public and commercial enterprise in our Mass Communication - Broadcasting program.

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.
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.
