When you graduate with a degree in broadcasting from Huntington University you will have a well-rounded knowledge of the fast-changing field of "broad"casting and "narrow"casting and the skills to produce, anchor, and report television and radio broadcasts as well as to produce films. 

As a broadcasting student at Huntington University, you will practice faith-informed thinking about this enormously popular and pervasive form of storytelling in our society.

Opportunities abound. Huntington's hands-on approach prepares students for exciting careers in media communication. But you don't have to take our word for it. Read about 1996 graduate Angie Atalla Murphy

Brethren Productions is the department’s electronic field and post production company. Students can gain the professional experience necessary for those entry level positions in the video production marketplace through practicum experience with Brethren Productions. The department operates off of a rate card budget that provides income for upgrades of equipment and supplies. Recent clients have included local businesses, film companies, the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, and former vice president Dan Quayle (inset), whose museum is located in Huntington.

On location opportunities abound. Several outside clients have hired Brethren Productions to shoot commercials, industrial video, and mission videos. Students have traveled to New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Macau, Burma, Honduras, and Nicaragua on Brethren Productions shoots. The department utilizes cutting edge video software and hardware in editing and producing quality videos for our clients.

On the Air! HTV 22 News the department’s weekly  local news show. Students write, report, direct, and produce the shows which air online and around campus. HTV is one of only 70 of CBS's college affiliate stations. 

Students obtain hands-on broadcasting experience by announcing on our campus radio and internet outlet  WQHU-LP FM . The radio outlet includes both an on-air studio and a production news room facility with a multi-track digital audio workstation. Our broadcast is now available live via Internet.
