The Film, Journalism, and Media Production (FJMP) program at San Diego City College provides the opportunity for students to develop fundamental skills in these fields for employment in media and related industries or transfer to a four-year institution. The program includes all aspects of multiplatform content creation and production, including fiction and documentary films, journalism, broadcast news, radio, podcast, and media production. Students also develop skills to think critically, problem-solve efficiently, and communicate ideas effectively. Courses address legal and ethical issues in media and include the implications of social and cultural constructs, economics, technology, and equity and social justice. Students gain hands-on experience working as part of the online platform City Times Media with its award-winning partners in state-of-the-art facilities.
The program modifications made to film, journalism, and media production (FJMP) certificates and degrees do not change the total number of awards being offered in the region. Program modifications will not contribute to an overproduction to the supply in the labor market demand as it will continue to yield the same number of graduates or completers as in previous years.
This program modification updates the program award title and includes updates to course numbering and course titles that reflects the college’s emphasis on FJMP.
The Associate of Science Degree in Radio and Podcast is not offered at any other campus within the district and San Diego City College is the only college that offers awards in the TOP Code in the region. This degree is well-established and has been serving the region and local community since its State Chancellor’s Office approval on January 1, 1970 under the title Radio.
