If you decide to major in film, video and media studies at WMU, you will learn about the theoretical framework and practical assumptions that drive todays mass media and spend many hours in the Universitys state-of-the-art training facilities, where you will gain practical experience in radio and TV broadcasting, news writing, technical direction and production. You must apply for admission to the film, video and media studies program. Acceptance is based on grades, a personal statement that reflects relevant educational and career goals, understanding of the field and writing ability. Broadcasting is an extremely competitive field. As a film, video and media studies student at WMU, you will be strongly advised to make moves that will give you an edge over the competition. Although not required for the degree, internships, volunteer work and freelance work are necessary if you want to be successful in the field. The more experience you gain while youre a student at WMU, the better equipped youll be to land a position when you leave. There are many on- and off-campus groups that may provide paid and unpaid opportunities for you to learn the ins and outs of the broadcasting world. There are several TV and radio stations in the area, which regular employ interns from WMU. WIDR, the campus radio station, lets many students take their turn as a radio show host or on-air disc jockey. WIDR also has positions in announcing, ad sales and radio production. If you think youd be better served to polish your news writing and interviewing skills, get involved at the Western Herald, WMUs student newspaper.
You must have successfully completed a United States Year 12 (or equivalent senior secondary school qualification) Equivalent qualifications may also include a recognized post-secondary diploma in the relevant discipline with the required grades. Meeting the minimum academic requirements does not guarantee entry. Your application will still need to be assessed and accepted. If you dont meet the entry requirements, there may be other programs you are eligible for that can lead you to your preferred program.
