The video strand under the Multimedia Arts department recently was updated to clean up TOP codes and to update courses with new prefixes as well as to check SAM and CIP codes. The change in the TOP code is a substantive change, thus the program is being submitted for endorsement.

Laney has a Broadcast Video Program we contacted Vina Cera to inform her of the updates. The updates have followed our local process and have been approved at Local college and District CIPD. Contra Costa has a Digital Film Production certificate; CCSF has a Cinema Production AS, as you will see from the LMI data there are plenty of opportunities for all students to succeed and they are outside our catchment area.
