Abstract: The breadth of broadcast education often invites disdain from academic circles. This, coupled with industry expectations about "college kids" regarding their lack of practical experience, indicates a need for a restructuring of broadcast education based on a conservatory model. Ultimately, alterations in administrative attitudes and structure are required for professorial values to change and, in turn, for courses to change. Implementing the "conservatory" model from music would enable the development of specific academic specializations in broadcast areas. Professors could develop and refine their ideas and, at the same time, maintain close ties with industry in their specialization. The philosophical orientation and the academic structure of the conservatory model are both necessary if current "departments" of radio, television, broadcasting, film, and communications are to be organized as "specialist areas," such as audience research, lighting, set design, history, or international.
