Digital video media technology

Several classes focus heavily on hands-on production, which requires a good deal of group participation and interpersonal skills. Production is a team effort, requiring commitment, drive and follow-through, all of which an employer seeks in employees.

You don’t need to own a camera. We do recommend a laptop or desktop computer to use at home, but it must be robust enough to handle video editing software. On campus, there are desktop computers available to use, either in the classroom or in the student lab. You must have a USB drive or external hard drive. These must be 3.2 USB around 128GB, and it’s recommended that you get at least 1TB of storage. Adobe Creative Cloud software is used within the classroom, and we recommend that you also subscribe at the discounted student rate. You also will need your own headphones.
