Upon successful completion of this minor, students will have a broad foundation in creating television and audio recordings of events. Students learn theory and gain hands-on experience in all aspects of the production process, both in studio and on location. This includes operating television cameras and audio equipment; designing appropriate lighting and audio environments; directing live recordings; and finishing projects with audio and video editing.
To add a Music, Stage, and Sports Production minor, contact our Undergraduate Coordinator Dakota Cotner at Dakota.Cotner@colostate.edu.
