Transfer Track/Communication
Radio/Television Broadcasting Option (RTV-AA)

AREA OF CONCENTRATION: The purpose of this transfer track is to prepare students as media creators, writers, and practitioners in radio, television, and the multimedia. Students will participate in real‐time laboratory experiences and classroom exercises that introduce them to media outlets in the community as well as on‐air and production work for WKGC‐AM/FM, the public radio stations associated with Gulf Coast State College. Most students use this knowledge and background to continue their formal education toward a bachelor’s degree in general or mass communications at a four‐year institution.
