Students pursuing a four-year degree can opt for the Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Mass Communications offered through the joint effort of Central Texas College and Mary Hardin Baylor University in nearby Belton, Texas. Students can obtain an Associate in Applied Science degree in Telecommunications at CTC and then transfer all of the hours from that degree to Mary Hardin Baylor. The Mass Communications degree will be of particular value for persons interested in careers in journalism, advertising, corporate communications, and similar fields. The faculty of the department are individuals who have extensive professional experience in broadcasting and production. Drawing from their many years of experience in the field, instructors guide students through the development and refinement of their individual talents.
Students serve as anchors, interviewers, directors, crew, and production team members.
This hands-on approach distinguishes our program from other programs at other universities, which may not have access to full power broadcast stations or who offer limited lab opportunities.
