The only two-year college to make the list, Palomar seeks to build on a legacy of excellence in a rapidly changing media landscape.<\/p>\n

SAN MARCOS \u2014 In mid-April, the Broadcast Education Association (BEA) published its inaugural Recognition of Institutional Excellence in Media<\/a>, a national ranking of higher education institutions \u201cbased on the creative achievement of their students.\u201d<\/p>\n

Out of 100 schools\u2014most of which nationally recognized universities like Arizona State University and the University of Southern California\u2014the BEA ranked Palomar College 91st in the nation.<\/p>\n

Palomar was the only two-year college to make the list.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis essentially means that Palomar has the top two-year program in the entire United States,\u201d said Scott Richison, Assistant Professor of Media Studies. \u201cThis is a huge deal and something that Palomar College and the San Diego region can be extremely proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Media Studies Department at Palomar is a large and wide-ranging department<\/a>, encompassing the disciplines of Journalism, Public Relations, Photography, Communications, Digital Broadcast Arts, Cinema and the college\u2019s award-winning radio station, KKSM.<\/p>\n

\u201cA student can come to Palomar and within Media Studies learn everything from high-end animation for broadcast to how to program a radio station and develop their own show,\u201d said Richison.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations to our hard-working students and faculty in the Media Studies Department for this national recognition,\u201d said Palomar College Superintendent\/President Dr. Star Rivera-Lacey. \u201cIt\u2019s no secret that we have some of the finest media programs around, and we are thrilled to be named with the best of the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

The BEA said that the results were based on submissions to the Festival of Media Arts, \u201cthe preeminent international media competition focused on student and faculty creative endeavors.\u201d The overall ranking, in which Palomar was assessed as 91st, was \u201cbased on a combined achievement across the multiple media creative disciplines.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe professional media landscape is in constant flux and employers are asking more from our students with each passing day,\u201d Richison said. \u201cThe fact that a student can walk through our doors and gain the skills they need for employment in a relatively short period of time and at a minimal cost is huge.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn that respect, the Media Studies program at Palomar is one of the best values available to those interested in our field,\u201d he added. \u201cIf you’re looking to invest in your future, Palomar is a great option.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
