Become a Student
Have you ever been told that you have an awesome radio voice? Wondered what it would be like to be on the radio, entertaining and talking about sports, the Kardashians or politics? Wanted to learn how to put your natural talent to good use – but didn’t know where to start?
CT State Asnuntuck students have the opportunity within the radio practicum course, taught and supervised by veteran Connecticut radio personality Adam Rivers, to get hands-on experience broadcasting live on a real radio station.
In the communications industry, prospective employers are looking for people with real-world working experience in addition to classroom learning.
At CT State Asnuntuck, you can learn radio and audio as you go – by doing – first in the audio production class, where you’ll learn basic tools of audio editing – and then on the air in the radio practicum course, where you’ll host a weekly 3-hour shift on our low power FM radio station, 107.7 WACC. After every show, you’ll have the opportunity to go over it, learn, and get feedback from your instructor, a 10-year veteran of the CT and Springfield airwaves.
It’s not just about being on the air! Radio is a field with many important jobs that make the product on the air come together – from programming music to creating public service announcements, commercials, exciting imaging and promotions. As in all media, it’s more important than ever to become a versatile, well-rounded prospective employee with experience in many areas. In our audio production class, you’ll learn to produce PSAs and commercials, create an enticing news, weather and sportscast program and get an introduction to radio programming – learn why things are done the way they are and how you can evaluate success.
Students can spend up to $10,000 at other broadcasting schools without actually ever gaining real-world experience or being live on the air on a real radio station. At CT State, our tuition and fees are very reasonable for both in-state and out-of-state students. Not only can you get a great education at a great price, but you can also gain the real-world experience that employers are looking for. Financial aid is also available.
At CT State Asnuntuck we use only the best and latest technology. Our studios use the ENCO automation system, which is employed by thousands of radio stations worldwide, including several here in Connecticut. ENCO combines all the audio – songs, public service announcements, music beds and more to help you have a carefree learning environment while you’re on the air. Our AXIA-brand control boards will train you in an environment that you’ll need in the real world.
