Welcome to the SIUC Department of Radio and Television
Students in the Department of Radio-Television combine the analytical with hands-on practice to become cutting edge media producers and scholars. Our world-class production and research faculty guide students not only in the use of the latest technologies, but also in developing an understanding of the social, political and economic contexts of the media they produce and analyze.
Radio-Television students can concentrate in five specializations: Digital Media Arts and Animation, Electronic Journalism, Media Industries, Radio/Audio Production, and Television/Video Production. A Television Studies Minor is also offered and students can broaden their knowledge of the field through elective courses in Media Studies and Sports Media.
