Business majors
learn about sales and Broadcast and Cinematic Arts majors learn about the media
industry, but according to BCA professor Amy Sindik, the BCA Alumni Advisory
Board said very few graduates have the combination of those skills.
To address this,
Central Michigan University’s BCA department reached out to the Marketing
Department and developed the Electronic Media Sales minor.“The goal of the
program is to have more students who are ready to work in media sales positions
by the time they graduate,” Sindik said.To achieve this
goal, BCA Director Pete Orlik reached out to the marketing department and they
agreed that it would make sense to offer a minor that combined marketing and
BCA courses.According to
Sindik, a committee of two members from BCA and two members from marketing
looked at what classes would prepare students the most for a career in media
sales.“There’s nothing
like this in Michigan and we haven’t seen anything exactly like this in the
United States,” Sindik said.
