Program Description
The Corporate Media Production certificate program prepares students for entry-level media production positions in business, industry, and education. Emphasis is on hands-on production skills. Corporate media professionals tend to be generalists; therefore, this program provides students with a variety of production experiences including writing scripts, camera operation, video editing, web production and video streaming as they apply to business. An internal practicum in the college’s nationally recognized Corporate Media Production department or an external internship at a company or non-profit organization is required.
This 30-credit certificate program is intended as a stackable credential for students looking to specialize in corporate media production. When enrolling in this program as a standalone occupational certificate, it is recommended that students entering the program either have an associate degree or higher or are enrolled in the Digital Media Production associate degree program to improve employability upon graduation.
