As a graduate of Speech Communication with an emphasis in Broadcasting one might aspire to a career in on-air operations, mass media ideas, promotion, public affairs,or radio-television sales. Graduates might become consultants in advertising, specialists in instructional or educational television or in the public broadcasting service. Careers are open as broadcasting specialists in public relations, public information, business, industry, and government.
Internships in radio/television/film are very beneficial for communication students in broadcasting. Under the auspices of the Department of Speech Communication, students are afforded the opportunity to gain firsthand experiences in radio, television, and film provided by industry, government, business, public and commercial telecommunication centers.
Broadcasting students may register for internships in one of two ways. Telecommunication internships (TLC 2490 and TLC 3490) are administered by the Department of Speech Communication. Speech Communication internships (SPE 2980 and SPE 3980) are administered by the MSCD Cooperative Education program in conjunction with the Speech Department. Both types of internships meet graduation requirements. Broadcasting students become eligible for internships upon the completion of six hours in broadcasting-telecommunication courses at MSCD. Students should contact an advisor in broadcasting (303) 556-3033 or Cooperative Education (303) 556-3290 for further details.
