CEC Television produces programming for the local area, but it also streams to the world. Content includes UT athletics and cultural events, as well as community-oriented programming. Students who are interested in producing their own ideas have the opportunity to work with a faculty adviser and CEC staff to make the idea come to fruition. An emphasis in Broadcasting is currently in the approval stage, but students can take television production courses and have those courses apply to the Media Studies degree. In addition, we offer a Certificate in Media Production, which provides one year of training in television/media production. For Media Studies emphasis requirements, click here.
