The University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications (UFCJC) placed eighth overall in the first annual Broadcast Education Association (BEA) rankings of schools based on the creative achievement of their students.

UFCJC placed fifth in the News and Documentary categories, eighth in Film and Video, and 11^th in Sports. The ranking were derived from the results of the BEA Festival of Media Arts, a preeminent international media competition focused on student and faculty creative endeavors.

The rankings, based on the past five-year period of student success, are not an overall evaluation of an academic program, but an evaluation of the quality and consistency of students’ creative works produced at one institution compared to those at other institutions.

In the last five years, over 5,000 student creative works were submitted from BEA’s more than 300 member institutions around the globe. Entries go through a blind-juried review in the following competitions: Audio, Documentary, Film & Video, Interactive Multimedia & Emerging Technologies, News, Scriptwriting, and Sports.

In the 2022 BEA Student Festival of Media Arts competition, UFCJC students received multiple awards, including two “Best of Festival” accolades. Over the past five years, UFCJC students have won more than 30 Festival of Arts awards.
