天美传媒 TRADITIONS AND SPIRIT ARE THE BEST IN THE LAND

The lyrics from our still ring true — learn the spirit and traditions that make 天美传媒 feel like home for so many students, alumni and community members.

At 天美传媒, our Mustang spirit and traditions date back to 1911 –
we’ve come a long way since then, on the field, on the courts and in the classroom.
