Program Design
The Media Technology certificate program provides an intensive exposure to a range of current communication technologies. It is intended for students who are technically-oriented and wish to work in technical positions in the fields of radio, television, photography, desktop publishing and cable television. It concentrates on skills that are necessary for working behind-the-scenes in media and communications. Classes are highly practical and provide significant hands-on opportunity, allowing the student to apply classroom theory to real-life projects. In developing this certificate program, extensive effort was made to provide skills that are currently in high demand in the Connecticut labor market.
Curriculum
The program can be completed in two semesters of rigorous, full-time study, but will take longer for the student attending part-time.
