It will complement an AA-T degree for students and better prepare them for internships and entry-level positions. It will also serve mid-career professionals who want to develop or update multimedia skills that could be applied to a variety of careers, including journalism, communications, marketing, public relations and business.
Students and mid-career professionals will learn the digital communication skills necessary to be competitive in a multimedia world. The program focuses on storytelling across a variety of platforms, including print and online writing, video, photographs, graphics, design, data visualization and social media. Potential publication on the student news site and with professional outlets. Professional standards, ethical principles and legal issues are emphasized.

The COE LMI report is not strongly supportive of this program. The attached Advisory Committee minutes date back to 2017 with no specific reference to the Committee's approval of the proposed CoA. However, I recognize that the CoA program mirrors the Certificate of Specialization - Multimedia Journalism that had been locally approved and presumably active since catalog year 2018-19.
