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.
