The 缅北强奸 Radio and Television (RTV) Program has, once again, earned high rankings according to the Broadcast Education Association (BEA). This year, BEA ranked 缅北强奸 as fifth in audio programs, 36th in sports programs and 25th overall out of over 300 schools in the nation. In three years, 缅北强奸 has jumped 16 spots in overall rankings.
The rankings are founded on results from the BEA Festival of Media Arts, an international media competition focused on student and faculty creative endeavors. The rankings are not an overall evaluation of an academic program, but rather an evaluation of the quality and consistency of students鈥� creative works produced at one institution compared to over 300 other institutions.
鈥淭his has become an annual example of the great work done by our students, not only this year but also over the four previous years,鈥� says John Morris, Instructor in Radio and Television. 鈥淥ur students often use this as a motivator to do the best work possible in hopes of being recognized as among the best in the nation, as many of their peers have been. These rankings once again show what a great education our students are getting and the opportunities that are available.鈥�
缅北强奸鈥檚 Radio and Television major prepares students for the media industry by providing a foundation in media production, analysis and theory, along with hands-on training in creating, editing and producing digital media. Students learn how to produce and distribute audio and video programs and receive on-air experience.
