Associate Degree Program in Applied Science of Communication Arts in Video Production/Recording Audio Engineering This Associate Degree program includes courses designed to give the student a full understanding of Video Production and Recording/Audio Engineering both as separate disciplines and in a marriage of the two. Audio which used to be an afterthought in most dominant presentations, is now more of a quality concern than in the past. The ability to work in both the visual and audio is increasingly important. The program concentrates on t he audio art as it relates to the traditional music recording industry and its new partnership with video. Basic and general education courses enhance the technical education and enable students to advance toward career objectives. The emergence of new technologies and program forms, such as music videos bring the need for well-rounded, versatile professionals, trained in both video and audio. The program achieves this through a combination of lecture and in-studio experience, with the emphasis placed on "hands-on" training. Students will learn to take projects from their initial concepts to finished production. The program is 64 semester credit hours. Both day and evening classes are offered. The program takes four fifteen week semesters to complete as a full-time student. The program is also available on a part time basis, the length of time to complete the program on a part-time basis, is based on each individual student's class load for each semester. The average class size is 12 students per class. |
