BGSU’s Telecommunication major has produced graduates who have been successful despite strong competition. Many are well known to television and radio audiences in Ohio and other parts of the country. In addition to those working in front of the cameras, there are many other graduates employed behind the scenes in television, radio and interactive media production, advertising, sales, research and management. Some graduates have found the training excellent preparation for graduate study.
