If you're interested in music and searching for a career,
then consider the Music Business Program in the
Radio, TV, and Film Department at San Antonio College.
Your Music Business and related Radio, TV, & Film
courses will be taught in the new $4.4 Million Longwith
Radio, TV, & Film Building which was designed to
provide state-of-the-art facilities for this program.
The Longwith Building is a lively place where at any given
time local musicians will be performing live on KSYM, the
film club will be meeting in the theatre, and other students
will be editing their projects on Pro Tools or AVID in one
of five audio and five video editing rooms. |
