Choosing the right university is one of the most difficult decisions someone could make. Close to home? Far away? This program? That program? You just have so many choices of where to go. You want to go to the school that is going to give you the best education for your money and others of you want to go to a school with a D1 football team. Those two things can both be found at a university known as Texas Tech.
Texas Tech has much to offer people and the College of Mass Communications has even more to offer. No matter if you want hands on or management experiences you can get them through the College of Mass Communications at Texas Tech. The College of Mass Communications has four degrees they offer; journalism, electronic media and communications, advertising and public relations.
When I was trying to figure out where I was going to go for college I wanted to find the place that was far enough away from home that the parents couldn’t just show up randomly but also had very good academics and sports. I looked at colleges like Angelo State University and Texas A&M but Texas Tech is the only one the stuck out at me. I wanted to do Photography and one of the instructors at Tech is Wyman Meinzer. He was named the State photographer of Texas. How crazy is that I could go to a school and learn from the guy who was named the state photographer of Texas, right then and there I had made up my mind on where I wanted to go for college. Once I got here I realized that I had another passion besides photography and that was doing video and in the College of Mass Communications they offer an electronic media and communications degree where you can do video and other forms of electronic media so I added another major because I had a thirst for knowledge and wanted to learn from people who had real world experience like the professors in the College.
The college has state-of-the-art facilities that are open to the students to use. There are green screens, video editing stations with avid and final cut pro, a photography studio, still and video cameras as well as lights and microphones if you need them all available for student to use and check out.
Getting a degree in mass communications is a great idea because people are always going to need journalist, reporters, photographers, video editors, and advertisers. Once you get the degree you can do any number of things. Right now I have a friend who just graduated from the College of Mass Communications with an electronic media and communications degree, he decided to go another way and is now in law school at Tech. There will always be jobs out there for people with Mass Communications degrees.
So when you are thinking about where you want to go to college keep in mind Texas Tech and the College of Mass Communications.

So this is really cool but I am sure that it will cost an arm and a leg (no word on price yet). The module will fit between the lens and the camera body and keeps all electrical connections and doesn’t impede features like image stabilization. This is really cool but I don’t know if I would need to use it… that does not mean that I don’t want it
