Program Code: F.MCB.AAS
Graduation requirement: 60 credit hours
Students preparing for careers in the media industry will find that the Media Arts and Production A.A.S. program curriculum prepares them for employment in small and medium market radio and TV stations as well as corporate communication and public relations offices.
Because communication technology personnel must perform a variety of duties, this program stresses versatility. Communication courses offer students experience in live-audience and recorded speaking. Advertising and business courses involve students in other aspects of the communication industry. Audio, video, and Internet components are meshed with an understanding of the history and theory of development of the message. Students polish their skills by operating WPCD-FM, Parkland’s 10,500-watt educational radio station, and filling production crew positions at PCTV, Parkland’s educational cable access channel.
Students should plan their Media Arts and Production A.A.S. degree program with a Communication faculty advisor.
