Broadcasting

Use your voice on purpose.

Stories are meant to be told and voices meant to be heard. 

Master technology used to produce, record, edit and distribute your story and your voice. SAU broadcasting students use their voice for the greater good of the Kingdom. 

As a broadcasting major, you’ll have opportunities to write and produce podcasts, practice studio and field video production and grow your confidence as an on-air talent at one of two radio stations on campus, or by doing play-by-play for the Cougar Sports Network. 

Throughout the program, you’ll curate a body of personal and professional portfolio pieces from your class work, internships and internal and external client projects.
