Digital Media Technology
Associate Degree in Science

Combining classroom experience with real-world projects, this interdisciplinary program is designed for students seeking employment in digital video production, video editing and motion graphics creation. Students create persuasive, informational, educational and entertainment-based video, audio and motion graphic content for use in multimedia, web, broadcast and live events.

Students are prepared to become production assistants, web video editors, motion graphics artists, videographers and multimedia specialists.

We have two specializations in the program.

Live Event Video Production

is a mixture of theater production and video production. Students learn basic stagecraft, lighting and sound for theater and live events, video production and editing, and advanced video distribution technologies like web streaming.

If you're interested in cables, cameras, lights, sound and video boards, and working in medium to large teams to capture events as they happen, this may be the track for you.

This specialization is designed to train students for the types of video production jobs found at television stations, convention centers, houses of worship, concerts, sporting events and other types of live events.

Video and Motion Graphics

is a mixture of graphic arts and video production. Students learn drawing, typographical design, animation principles, video production and editing, and also explore true 3D graphics and interactive graphics programs. There's a deep immersion into the Adobe Creative Suite of programs, as well as non-linear editing systems like Apple's Final Cut Pro Studio Suite.

If you're interested in animation, lots of one-on-one time with your computer, and motion and video effects programs, take a look at this track.

This specialization is designed to train students for the types of jobs found in television station art departments, multimedia companies, and in the media divisions of any company.
