Included are three color television studios, online editing systems, digital imaging equipment, sound recording studios, a radio station, and an array of video field production gear. But the facilities aren't the only reason graduates of the program continue to give it the highest ratings. It is the dedicated teaching. Technology changes rapidly. New ways of creating and communicating challenge old concepts.
Equipment seems to become obsolete overnight.
The one thing that students should be able to count on is a faculty that stays current and that cares about teaching and students. The BECA faculty has published the leading textbooks in the area of video production, performance, media aesthetics, and broadcast journalism. And the faculty is committed to helping students succeed. This dedication shows up in exit polls where 95 percent of graduating seniors rate the teaching in the department as excellent. And 85 percent rate BECA teachers the best they've had.
