Program Review Title: Program Code: Review Type: Type: Chaffey College Program Review Report Broadcasting 603 - BROADCASTING Instructional SLO's Overview of Chaffey College Program: Describe the program mission as it relates to the college mission: The mission of the Broadcasting Program is to provide well-educated and technically prepared students in the fields of television, radio, and other areas related to broadcasting and electronic communications media. We accomplish this mission by teaching a wide variety of classes in radio and television history and theory; radio, television, Hi-Definition television, and electronic filmmaking production; and other courses designed to provide students with field experiences and on-the-job training. Broadcasting is an academic program with a vocational component. It is designed to produce creative and technically trained students who are well prepared to transfer and pursue higher degrees within the UC and CSU systems, as well as other film schools and media programs. Our students can also prepare for several career paths in television, radio, film and related corporate and entertainment industries. We also utilize our technical facilities and expertise to serve the college, the community, and expand access through a variety of interdepartmental productions, outreach activities and community projects.

This left over amount was due to an underestimation of shipping costs on one item that arrived in late June. We did not have the opportunity to expend these funds as we did not know about the underestimation until after the purchasing deadline had passed. Were any additional funds requested (VTEA, other grants, etc.)? If so, please list source of additional funds and amount received. Broadcasting received $153,850 from VTEA grants for 2007-08.
