Multimedia

Do you spend your free time creating images, videos, or other computer based projects? If so, the multimedia arts and communication program might be the perfect place for you!

Allan Hancock College’s multimedia program provides a comprehensive foundation in the electronic arts, which are at the core of our increasingly audio-visual culture. The program’s project-based multimedia training fosters artistic and technical skills in digital media including imaging, video, audio, animation, and interactive interface design. 

Students will have the opportunity to build their own emphasis in web design, video post-production, or animation depending on choice of electives. Students will also become proficient in the use of industry-standard software including: Flash, Photoshop, After Effects, Dreamweaver, Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack, DVD Studio Pro, and others.

The Associate Degree in Multimedia prepares students for entry-level employment in the creative industries or to transfer to a four-year program in digital media.

This program helps you to:

• analyze and explain diverse multimedia products in terms of design, techniques, and point-of-view
