Radio and Television Arts
Radio and Television Arts (commonly referred to as "RTA") is the former name of the RTA School of Media at Ryerson University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The program offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio and Television,[1] and, as of Fall 2013, will offer a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in New Media.[2] There is an option to do a Minor in English.
The Bachelor of Arts program accepts 165 students a year out of 2,200+ applicants. It is the only 4-year broadcasting degree program in Canada and is reputed as the best program for an education in broadcasting in North America.
Students gain knowledge of the many aspects of the production of media, including technical, business and creative.
Many of North America's top names in radio and television are graduates of the program.. In 2012, some of the school's most successful alumni were honoured on the RTA Wall of Fame, including Valerie Pringle, Dave Devall, Terry O'Reilly, and Arthur Smith.
After the first year of study, students can choose which stream of production they wish to take. Students can choose between audio production, digital media, electronic field production (EFP) and multi-camera/studio production. Everything then culminates in a final project called Practicum during the students' fourth year of study. Practicum has students establish production groups, in which they create highly advanced projects through all stages of development, ranging from the initial pitch to post-production.
