  • Media Studies, New Media Technology

    The Humanities Department offers two outstanding degree programs for students who are considering careers in today's diverse and expanding media fields.

    MEDIA STUDIES A.A. - Digital technology has transformed entertainment television, television journalism, filmmaking, film viewing, and the exchange of information and ideas via the Internet. Media Studies courses are designed to respond to the digital revolution through preparing students for careers in creative and craft arenas of television, film, and multimedia production, such as screenwriting, cinematography, editing, TV studio production, computer graphics and effects.

    NEW MEDIA TECHNOLOGY A.A.S. - New Media Technology students develop a broad understanding of multimedia and Internet-based technologies as preparation for careers in information technology, digital media, and electronic commerce. The New Media field provides writers, musicians, artists, filmmakers, and business people with powerful new tools for entrepreneurial endeavors and creative expression. Courses include web design, web animation and interactivity, Internet video and game design.

    Degrees offered: AA in Media Studies, AAS in New Media Technology
