Certificate of Achievement - Art Digital Media
Catalog 2009-2010
The art digital media program prepares students for entry level employment in one of six specialty areas of the digital media industry: character animation, digital audio, digital imaging, motion graphics, 3D modeling and animation, and web design. This program of study will provide students with the design and technical skills needed for creating non-linear interactive digital media. Students will participate in a collaborative team-oriented learning experience that mirrors the digital media industry design and production process. Additionally, students will explore digital media career opportunities and develop a professional digital media portfolio for entry into the workforce.
To earn a certificate of achievement, students must complete each course used to meet a certificate requirement with a "C" grade or better. Required courses are available in the evening and during the day.
