San Francisco State University’s Broadcast and Electronic Communication Arts (BECA) program prepares students in both the theory and practice of television, radio, video, audio, and media production. BECA combines classroom learning with hands-on studio experience, giving students opportunities to work on real productions — including student-run radio and television broadcasts — as part of their coursework. Graduates of the program go on to careers in broadcasting, entertainment, journalism, and other media professions. The display of Broadcast Preceptor Awards likely reflects the department’s tradition of honoring industry professionals who have served as mentors, advisors, or guest instructors to students studying media arts.Credits: Some descriptions were developed with the assistance of ChatGPT, an AI language model by OpenAI.
