FILM, TELEVISION, AND ELECTRONIC MEDIA

Film, Television, and Electronic media is the study of radio, television, the cinema, and electronic/new media. A major in Film, Television, and Electronic Media is recommended for students interested in working in the entertainment industry as a director, producer, editor, camera operator, creator of still and animated graphics, sound designer, radio personality, audio engineer, screenwriter, or copywriter. The sequence of courses may be taken on a full-time or a part-time basis. The Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T) is a special degree offered at California Community Colleges. Students who earn an AA-T or AS-T degree are guaranteed admission to a campus within the California State University (CSU) system in a similar major, although not necessarily to a specific campus. Students who complete an AA-T or AS-T are given priority consideration when applying to a particular program that is similar to the student’s community college major and will be given a special GPA advantage when applying to CSU impacted campuses or majors. Students who are planning to pursue an AA-T or AS-T are strongly advised to meet with a counselor for additional information about this transfer program.
