Broadcast Education Curricula in 2-Year and 4-Year Colleges.

Koch, Erin; Kang, Jong G.; Allen, David S.

Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, v54 n1 p4-15 Spr 1999

Compares broadcasting curricula of two-year and four-year colleges. Finds that most broadcast programs implement a blend of practical and theoretical courses, and that students at two-year and four-year schools are subjected to comparable course work and internship/practicum experience. Suggests that many students are not receiving enough education in actual communication theory or ethics. (SR)
