Best Colleges for Radio, Television, and Digital Communication

INTRODUCTION

If you think life as a radio dj host, media specialist, or on air personality sounds interesting, then a degree in radio television and digital communication may just be for you. You could even become the first voice people hear on their way to work!

POPULARITY

Radio, television, and digital communication is the 45th most popular degree in America, with 10,624 students receiving their bachelors degree last year. It just beat out #46 Fitness Administration, and narrowly lost to #44 Computer Engineering.

The degree is offered at a total of 323 colleges across the nation, and is the 71st most widely offered degree. It is only offered at 14% of the Top 100 Best Colleges in America.

It is also worth noting that a little south of 3/5 of colleges offering radio television and digital communication are public making it a pretty accessible field.

The southeast produces the most radio television and digital communication graduates, largely led by Florida State University, while it’s the Southeastern Conference that leads conference totals. As far as states, New York ranks highest, with particular help from Ithaca College and New York University.

All that being said, no individual school produces more radio television and digital communication graduates than Arizona State University-Tempe, which graduated 399 students last year alone. Although size is critical, another important factor to consider is the program’s density (the percent of all students that study radio television and digital communication). More students studied radio television and digital communication as a percentage of total students at Clark Atlanta University than any other college.
