Pending local and state approval, this course sequence can also lead to a Broadcast Electronic Media Arts Associate of Arts degree and an Award of Achievement. Students who complete the general education requirements and satisfy major requirements with a grade of C or higher will earn an Associate of Arts degree. Students will receive an Award of Achievement in Broadcast Electronic Media Arts if they complete the required program of study with final grades of B or higher. The first two semesters introduce the student to the impact of the electronic media within the context of the global market place. Media literacy, industry history, economic and legal issues, current technology, library orientation and research, and career orientation are emphasized.
Students also take basic audio and video production courses.
The third and fourth semesters emphasize refinement of research, writing, and production skills. Throughout these last two semesters students learn and apply leadership and teamwork skills to production management, projects involving emerging technologies, and operation of broadcast systems. Degree oriented and transfer students are strongly encouraged to register for a wide range of general education classes. Consult a college counselor and the College Transfer Center to assure that the courses you select are appropriate for your education plan.
