Abstract: This study examines the present status of broadcast education in colleges and universities and reports the attitudes of broadcasters toward the undergraduate programs offered in 205 colleges and universities. The report is in five parts: (1) a review of the administrative units which house broadcast educational programs, (2) a summary of the general requirements in broadcast educational programs, (3) a review of broadcast course offerings available to students, (4) responses of broadcasters to the program, (5) conclusions and summary. Results indicate that while colleges and universities are doing a good job in the courses they offer, improvements could be made, especially in the areas of sales, programing and performance. Courses in cable and public broadcasting should be included in these programs. (AP)
