About the Program This program prepares students for initial employment as multimedia managers, communications systems managers, or audio/visual production managers, or provides supplemental training for persons previously or currently employed in these occupations. The content includes, but is not limited to, the learning of management skills that permit the graduate to oversee the operation of institutional and industrial multimedia operations. Instruction includes production analysis, the design and production of multimedia graphics, the photographic creative process, multimedia management, and the application of production skills to solving problems related to the integration of multimedia. Also included are skills related to professionalism, employability, communication, and management. Students who score below the required levels on state-mandated placement tests in writing, reading, and mathematics must enroll in and complete the appropriate college preparatory courses before they enroll in some required program courses. Program Hours The AS or AAS degree can be earned in two years. Students who are employed can take classes part-time while they gain valuable experience on the job. Many of the classes are offered at night, making them easy to fit into a busy schedule.
