No, broadcasting programs are much more engineering, technical than an art program. But, that degree won't do you any more good than learning to edit via other routes. Even with a degree, jobs are hard to find. We producers look at your demo reel, and your interview, and your experience. I could care less about a degree program, as most of the people I've worked with from them know much less about what the real world of media production is than those who learned by working in the industry.
If you're using Final Cut Studio (now over 50% of the professional post production market), the Apple Authorized Training is great, or just get the Apple Pro Training Series books (which are what we use in the classes) and do them on your own. If you first starting out, that Final Cut Pro end user certification (levels 1 and 2) will help in getting work at first. But eventually you need to build up a resume of work and a good demo reel.
Film/broadcast schools are being acknowledge by the broadcast and film industries now as having fallen very far behind the times. Most are garbage and do more harm than good. About the only place I'd recommend is Full Sail in Orlando, FL. Pretty much the best program in the U.S, and will do more to help you get work than any college or university.
Get a camera, start doing work on your own, attend all the seminars you can, join your local Professional Vidoegraphers Association (PVA), and yes, most film and broadcast folks work between jobs as freelance videographers. Also look for your local Final Cut Pro Users Group. My group has our own support forum, too.

Film/broadcast schools? Most are inadequate today. Art programs? Not for an editor to get work, but will teach you about art in general. Buy some books, teach yourself, take some seminars (myself, Larry Joran, many of us do them all over the country), let other local videographers and studios know you're interested in working. You may have to do some very underpaid or even free work at first for them. But when they see you're a hard worker and dedicated, and really learning, they'll pay you pretty well. A job in a TV station is the only really stable work now. Independent studios mostly contract out. State agencies are pretty stable production studios to get a full time job in, too. Also consider being independent, self employed. Just go find those temp jobs and get real work for other folks under your belt. Word of mouth and a good demo reel/resume are what you need, not a degree.
Sorry, but that's the cold, hard facts of life for media production these days.
