Career Pathway – Arts and Communication

Multimedia Art includes four major areas of emphasis: Multimedia, Film Animation, Photography, and Visual Art. The Associate in Applied Science in Multimedia Art is designed to prepare graduates for entry-level positions in public and private multimedia photography and production studios, web design studios, and graphic design firms.
