The primary student organization, IRTS, debuted in 2000 under the supervision of Dr. Larry Etling. It has been recognized by the VSU Student Government Association and is planning events for the 2000-2001 academic year. Internships are encouraged in both regional and national stations. Most of our seniors have jobs waiting for them before graduation, with many turning down multiple offers. Our placement rate is exceptional, as graduates take jobs in Atlanta, Savannah, Jacksonville, and other markets throughout the Southeast.
Employment is in television and radio stations, production houses, and in various allied fields.
VSU-TV is fully automated with two satellite dishes and a remote production van. Students in the radio area work with WVVS 90.9FM, the VSU student radio station that programs college alternative, urban, and a variety of specialized formats. Other opportunities exist at WWET 91.7FM, the National Public Radio affiliate serving south Georgia.
