<p>Does anyone know the quality of the school of communications program(s)? In specific, the visual media. Also, if students can and do participate in campus television. Thanks.</p>
<p>I am a Sophomore in SOC and SPA but my concentration in communications is Journalism, not visual media. I can say that overall the faculty of SOC is very good, and we are very high ranked for communications programs. Every professor I have had in SOC works for a newspaper, online news site, news network, or wire service and teaches on the side. They all bring a lot of real life experience into the classroom which is amazing and because of their careers, they are well connected in the field and can help you find jobs or internships.</p>
<p>There is a campus TV network known as ATV and as far as I know any student who applies with a good idea can get their own show or get involved in another program.</p>
<p>Hope this helps... let me know if you have any other AU questions.</p>
