Mount Royal College


Radio and television broadcasting continues to play a critical communication role in our fast-paced environment. The two-year Broadcasting diploma program teaches students to work as part of a team of professionals who inform, create, promote and entertain through radio and television; as well as in the expanding sectors of corporate in-house, and Web-based productions. It divides its concentration of core studies equally between radio and television. With the guidance of industry-experienced, award-winning instructors, students learn to report, write, and anchor news and sports programs; create, write and produce commercials; and record, edit and direct programs for both of these media. Our studios are equipped with current, digital technology that students use to produce radio programs aired on local cable and television productions aired on local television.

Practical experience is also gained through three-week work terms that may involve radio or television. This hands-on approach to learning has earned students national awards from the Radio and Television News Directors Association, TSN's Broadcast Education Student Training Scholarships, and the Broadcast Educators Association of Canada.

If you have specific inquiries on the programs offered by the Centre for Communication Studies, our faculty and staff will be happy to answer your questions.
