Radio Broadcasting/Audio Production

Radio Broadcasting/Audio Production is a concentration of the Communication major

If you are interested in a radio broadcasting/audio production concentration, you have the opportunity to follow in the path of alums who have studied broadcasting and audio at our college for more than 75 years! Curry's radio broadcasting program is one of the oldest in the country, tracing its origin to 1932. Back then, Curry students arranged for a schedule of broadcasts over WLOE, the radio station at the Hotel Bellevue on Beacon Hill in Boston, where our student broadcast readings, plays, and impersonations.
