Program Proposal Attributes
- Certificate of Achievement: 16 or greater semester (or 24 or greater quarter) units (C)
We presently have a cert called "Cinematography and Editing."
This is an update that includes changing the name of the present certificate. With the guidance of our advisory board we developed a more general certificate for film and tv production that gives students an overarching understanding of film and tv production for entry way into the industry (not just cinematography and editing).
This cert prepares students for entry to the film and tv industry by basic skill training across various departments. This certificate has been modified and replaces the current one which will be sunset as soon as this one is active.
