Associate in Arts - Broadcast Communication Arts
Catalog 2009-2010
The associate degree program in broadcast communication arts is designed as a two year curricular pathway that offers a broad general education while preparing students for entry-level positions in the broadcast communication industries such as: associate producer, assistant director, on-camera talent, camera operator, sound technician, video switcher, floor director, videotape editor, production assistant, radio board operator, radio producer, radio production engineer, and radio on-air talent.
Students must complete each of the required courses with a "C" grade or better. Required courses can only be completed by attending a combination of day and evening classes. Certain courses may satisfy both a major and a DVC general education requirement; however, the units are only counted once. Selected courses in the program may also meet some lower division requirements for bachelor of arts programs at certain California State University campuses. Students who intend to transfer are advised to consult with a counselor regarding specific requirements.
