The television production program provides extensive theoretical and practical experience in all aspects of digital video production. In addition to in-class lectures, this program gives students a chance to develop their skills in television production through scheduled labs and class projects. The program's objective is to turn out independent television producers who can compete for production management jobs within existing organizations or set up their own production companies as entrepreneurs.

Students majoring in television production may earn a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts degree. Students need a minimum of 120 semester hours, another major or minor, and completion of the university studies requirement for the appropriate degree. ACEJMC requires that students take 72 hours outside the department and no more than six hours of credit for internships/co-ops within the major.

Students are encouraged to work with Â鶹´«Ã½ TV-11.
