The media programs provide students with hands on 21st century learning skills. The students learn all aspects of production including script writing for various audiences, video and audio editing, and live multi-camera news production. The media students and staff work closely together and develop technical and production skills. Students recognize the skill, dedication, and team effort behind filmmaking and production and graduate with an appreciation for the career field.
