Associate Degree in Communication Media
|
The
Associate Degree Program in Communication Media prepares students
for careers in the media production industry, or for transfer to
a baccalaureate-granting institution. These careers include positions
such as Producer, Director, Media Computer Specialist, Video Editor,
Broadcast/Media Equipment Technician, Camera Operator, Reporter,
and Photographer. Students have the opportunity to gain practical
experience through internship placements at area media outlets.
The degree program prepares graduates by developing oral and written
communication abilities, a sense of visual composition, facility
in computer applications for media design and interactive programming,
and experience using technology such as video production equipment,
film and digital still cameras, computer-based graphics workstations,
and complex digital media production and editing systems.
