Some community colleges offer associate’s degree programs in television broadcast news. These programs may be transferable to 4-year universities. Through an associate’s degree program, you’ll study courses such as media and television production, advanced broadcast news production, television lighting and on-camera performance. Due to the level of competition in the television broadcasting arena, it may behoove you to acquire at least a bachelor’s degree in journalism, broadcasting or communications. A bachelor’s degree curriculum will offer classes in television and radio announcing, sound production, media research and television communications management. In addition, you’ll study natural science, English, mathematics and the humanities.
