Program Goal
The Multimedia Studies Program prepares students to fill roles as professionals in the digital media industry and has provided CTE instruction to College of Marin’s students for many years. Recent digital media labor market and workforce data indicates a strong demand for community college students with software and design skills for employment as web designers, front-end developers, interface designers, app developers, content marketers, and graphic designers. Additional skill sets in SEO, eLearning, or mobile media could make them more competitive in the job market.
