Broadcast Communication Professional and Technical Standards for Admission, Enrollment, and Graduation

Success in the field of broadcasting requires certain technical and emotional skills in addition to a knowledge of theory. The Department of Communication acknowledges Section 504 of the 1973 Vocational Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 but has determined that prospective students must be able to meet the physical and emotional requirements of the academic program. A candidate for a Bachelor of Arts degree in Broadcast Communication must have abilities in six areas: communication, hearing, visual, mobility, motor skills, and social behavior. Compensation can be made for some disabilities but the use of an intermediary delays production decisions that must be made in a split second. Therefore, third parties cannot be used in studio productions.

The performance standards presented below are prerequisite for admission, continued enrollment and graduation with a B.A. in Broadcast Communication. An example of activities that students are required to perform while enrolled in the broadcast communication program accompanies each standard.
