Broadcast Center - St. Louis - Professional Training for All Positions in Broadcasting

Getting a great education and starting a rewarding career is what its all about. Broadcast Center graduates go to work as air personalities, newscasters, sports play-by-play talent, commercial and program production specialists, television anchors and field reporters, video production experts, free-lance voice talent, and virtually all other positions within the broadcast industry and allied fields (production houses, ad agencies).

Whether it's a performance-based position in front of the microphone or camera or something more "behind the scenes" such as a technical or audio/video production position, Broadcast Center can provide the training you need to get your broadcasting career started, usually within about 12 months.

The reality is you can't effectively teach broadcasting skills in a traditional classroom. A classroom environment might be okay for learning about the history of broadcasting, but having that knowledge isn't likely going to get you a job in the broadcast industry. Perhaps that's why so many four-year college and university graduates with broadcasting degrees that focus primarily on broadcast history and theory end up unable to find employment in the industry.

Broadcast Center is radically different. Our focus is on developing the actual skills you'll use in a job situation. Broadcast Center students work in broadcast studios doing exactly the same things they'll do when they finish up the program and go to work in the industry. Attending Broadcast Center is very much like receiving the equivalent of on-the-job training.

If you're looking for four years of endless boring lectures from a college professor and taking written tests every couple of weeks, you should look somewhere other than Broadcast Center. .

Broadcast Center students are taught by professional broadcasters currently working in the broadcast industry in St. Louis and the surrounding area. Instead of college professors with little or no professional experience teaching from outdated textbooks, Broadcast Center students learn from instructors who are actually earning a living doing the things they're teaching.

Students benefit from the fact that Broadcast Center is a relatively small school. As a Broadcast Center student, you won't be just another face in the crowd. Every Broadcast Center staff member and instructor will quickly get to know who you are and will provide dedicated assistance to help you strengthen your strengths, eliminate your weaknesses and reach your ultimate career goals.

Instruction is very much one-on-one at Broadcast Center assuring that all students get the attention and guidence they need to develop their skills and go to work.

At Broadcast Center, there's nothing more important than seeing hard working dedicated students finish up the program and going to work in the industry. Job placement for all graduates is clearly the ultimate goal.

Broadcast Center has filled thousands of broadcasting jobs since its founding in 1972. The Center's job placement efforts are second to none, averaging over five job openings per graduate. In other words, the demand for Broadcast Center graduates far exceeds the supply.

Broadcast Center is certified to operate by the Missouri Department of Higher Education.
