Curriculum: Radio Broadcasting

Broadcasting is the conceptualization, creation and distribution of content. Traditionally, the channels to broadcast content were limited to television and radio. These channels are quickly expanding, and the CSB School of Broadcasting curriculum is expanding to stay ahead of the industry. Students will also explore emerging forms of broadcasting and distribution channels, such as podcasting, videocasting and blogging, and learn about distributing their content to sources such as iTunes, YouCastr and YouTube.

As a student of CSB School of Broadcasting, you will have the opportunity to create radio programming such as the daily news, live interviews, sports shows and commercials. From the first day of class, you will be immersed in the broadcasting industry with television and radio professionals, cutting-edge equipment and professional projects. This fully immersive learning environment creates the opportunity for students to make career-long friends and industry contacts, and with our instructors currently working in the industry, students will have a foot in the door to their new career.

The CSB School of Broadcasting curriculum is based on teaching a broadcasting foundation and expanding that knowledge into specialized advanced topics. Students begin their broadcasting education learning how to write, host and execute radio shows; program music content; write the copy for commercials; and effectively interview guests, all while following FCC guidelines. During the radio industry phase you will begin with voice and diction classes and then learn how to become an on-air disc jockey and create your own radio show. You will become knowledgeable about radio station formats and timing before you learn advanced music programming, sports broadcasting and audio editing.
