Laboratory Opportunities
Each of the four program areas in Communication Arts offers specific on-campus laboratory and off-campus internship opportunities.The Journalism program publishes The Collegian, a national award-winning weekly university newspaper. Newspaper staff positions typically are filled by journalism students, and the newspaper is produced in a computer design laboratory operated by students.
The Electronic Media Production program transmits daily radio programs from the studios of 88.9 FM WRDL, the campus radio station. All campus and community television programs on the Ashland cable TV system are cablecast from the university on TV-2. The department operates production and master control rooms, a television studio for production and on-air use, a computerized newsroom, and a three-camera truck equipped for remote TV productions. Three video editing suites and a multimedia computer lab are available for student productions. A number of students are employed within the electronic media production area to assist the staff with operation of the radio and television stations.
The Speech Communication program offers a full range of off campus opportunities in profit and not-for-profit businesses and agencies in the form of internships. On campus students participate in Accent PR, the public relations club, as well as Talon Tales, the storytelling club
The Sport Communication program offers opportunities for students to work in cooperation with the Ashland University sports information office and with its NCAA Division II athletic teams in a wide variety of mens and womens sports. Sport communication students also have the opportunity to practice play-by-play and color commentary skills through WRDL and TV-2.
