Broadcasting

Studying broadcasting means being the next generation to take over the media landscape while rubbing shoulders with politicians, sports figures and celebrities. Inside the classroom, you can help produce a live TV newscast or DJ for the college's radio station. Outside the classroom, there are tons of ways to get involved, from HuskerVision to the Hearst journalism competition. Whether you want to be the star or behind the scenes, there are two options in this major:

BROADCAST NEWS
