Multimedia Arts Degree


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs of Study

Students opting for an AAS degree in Multimedia Arts have a unique path of study that is mostly separate from the Graphic Design degree. This path includes different entrance portfolio requirements and an academic focus on photography, filmmaking, and motion graphics/animation. Beginning the degree track with a cohort of other students in the fall, all Multimedia Arts students take introductory software classes (joined by Graphic Design students) before diverging into time-based media and photography during their first year. The second year of study includes additional study of motion graphics, photography, filmmaking, and portfolio-building courses that culminate in a demo reel and exhibition that ranges in form and media depending on the student’s choice of focus. In addition to a personal computer and Adobe Creative Cloud software, the purchase of a multi-terabyte hard drive and a digital camera that provides manual controls and is capable of high definition video is required of all students early in the first term of their first year.
