Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality Certificate Program for Architecture

The Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality Certificate Program for Architecture was created to educate students on the principles of AR and VR environment, giving them the opportunity to explore a virtual representation of a particular room, floor, or building design as a whole. The program will help prepare students to present the design process and project.

We expect 25 students to earn the certificate annually by department.

East Los Angeles College is in close proximity to the high demand Entertainment Industry in Los Angeles and Hollywood area as well booming housing economy. Students desire to enter these fast growing industries, but are unprepared for these high-paying high-skilled jobs.
