NAIT's Radio and Television programs are 2 distinct, yet interrelated full-time diploma programs. Each of these dynamic 2-year programs takes a non-traditional approach to teaching that will provide you with learning opportunities through hands-on experiences.

Using industry standard digital equipment and labs, and while working in modern studios, you'll hone written, technical, communicative and production competencies.
