Department of Broadcast Communication
​
Bachelor of Arts in Broadcast Media Arts and Studies
The Broadcast Media Arts and Studies (BMAS) program is a product of changes in the practice, forms, technology, relationship, and ecosystems in the media industry over the last few decades, and the implementation of the K-12 curriculum. It seeks to provide students with the requisite training to become future broadcast practitioners and scholars who are ethical, critical, creative, and visionary.
​
Students in the BA BMAS program will graduate with skills to assess and contribute to media’s role in current and emerging societies. Together, students and instructors study the critical lenses and creative skills that allow them to engage with the history and languages of broadcast media, the relationships and experiences of broadcast media audiences, and the conventions and practices of broadcast media creators. BA BMAS students are envisioned to contribute new perspectives to the discipline, update the broadcast media practice, produce research, and develop proficiencies in these and allied areas of broadcast media.
​
The undergraduate program considers the obligation of the Broadcast Communication Department as the only Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Center of Excellence in Broadcasting to maintain a cutting-edge curriculum to serve as model for other Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) offering Broadcasting and other programs in related fields.
The Department has also been active in spearheading alternative broadcasting models through the radio station DZUP 1602 AM.
