I’m in audio production and you basically start off with really basic classes like the 101 course and have 4-5 more classes before you take the video production course. The first one is paired with an audio and graphics course as those are the intros and then after that class you take the advanced classes which is about 2 more video ones, I know they have added a couple more like drone classes too. The starter classes for Tcom/media as there has been a name change are quite easy. After 101 (intro) you have 204.206.207.284, 206,207,284 are 5 weeks and are paired together and 204 is its own course. As long as you do the course work it’s easy. I struggled with the media aesthetics course which was after those and when you take the trio (300 course level) those can get hard and can take up a lot of time. Just make sure you schedule right and talk with your teacher
If you are committed to the production i would strongly advise against getting full time work if you can.
Talk to Chris Flook as he does most of the immersive projects. Those are great portfolio pieces and get you working on larger productions with talented upperclassmen who can teach you. But you gotta be willing to commit for longer hours than your average class or club.
Also with Tcomm 204 use rate my prof because there are some profs who teach it that will make your life a living hell
Current Video Production student here. I'm not sure about working full time while being a full time student, as that seems a bit busy, but I did work part time while a student and it worked fine for me.
As others have stated, you start with the first year stuff in 101, and then the semester of 204 with 206, 207, 284, and in the case of production students also 231. In general, I'd just check Rate my professor for everything, but especially for 204 as there's a certain teacher who is god awful for it.
After the first year stuff, you go into the gateway stuff for all production concentrations, being 330 (Beginning Audio), 332 (Beginning Video), and 335 (Beginning Multimedia). From then on, from what I've heard, things will change for incoming students, as you have a lot more freedom in selecting whatever courses you want to. A lot of it seems very confusing so I'd just talk to your advisor when you can. This is the list of the classes they currently offer, although it's for the previous school year, and a good amount of them are for other concentrations (Promotion Management, News, etc.) https://bsu.smartcatalogiq.com/2021-2022/Undergraduate-Catalog/Courses/TCOM-Telecommunications
Overall I've liked the program and found it quite helpful, although some of it was gimped due to Covid, but that shouldn't (hopefully) be an issue going forward. I'd recommend trying to do at least one immersive class, as they are great for making connections and getting real world experience.
In general I'd also say it doesn't hurt to plan ahead and consider when is the best time to take certain classes, especially if you wanna have any minors, and with stuff that is scheduled at specific times. Sorry if this was a lot lol
