Digital Media
Program Description
Have you ever wanted to create professional videos, grow your social media presence, or express an idea through custom animations? Sure, these sound fun, but what if you could make a living doing exactly these and make the jump from media consumer to the creator?
The Digital Media program focuses on current industry trends in hardware and software to equip you with the tools you need to become a next-generation storyteller. With vibrant careers in a booming industry, our classes will deepen your understanding of your own personal brand, give you real client experience, and prepare you for the creative workforce. So long, boring careers.
Transfer Preparation
MSJC offers a wide range of course work that prepares students for the workforce or for transfer to four-year colleges and universities. All four-year institutions prescribe their own standards for course evaluation and admissions. Courses that fulfill major requirements for an associate degree in a program at MSJC might not be the same as those required for transfer into a similar major at a four-year university. Please meet with a Counselor to confirm transfer requirements.
Transfer students are advised to do research on prospective majors and careers. The MSJC Transfer Center and MSJC catalog can be helpful tools. Students interested in transferring to CSU’s or UC’s can access major preparation by visiting ASSIST. All students are advised to meet with a counselor at least once a semester to create or update their comprehensive education plan.
