Radio, Television & Film

The Department offers a Bachelor of Arts in Radio, Television, & Film (RTF) that prepares students for career opportunities in traditional and emerging media industries by covering a wide range of topics, including media production, business, history, and aesthetics. Students can select from three concentrations within the major. The RTF Production Concentration emphasizes production skills, the RTF Film/TV Studies Concentration emphasizes writing and research skills, and the RTF Broadcast/Video Systems Concentration emphasizes technical skills. Each concentration includes a broad exploration of the history, business practice, writing, and aesthetics of the media. Students completing the degree receive a broad-based liberal arts education and a strong preparation for either media production or critical studies-related careers.

Outside of the classroom, learning continues as students are engaged in student clubs and organizations, including Cinema Workshop (digital filmmaking), The Rowan Television Network (television production), and WGLS-FM (the University’s radio station). In addition, the department offers juniors and seniors an extensive internship program that includes internships at businesses in the Philadelphia, New Jersey, and the New York Metropolitan areas.
