The existing Digital Media program, consisting of a Certificate of Achievement and A.S. Degree, is a total of 44 major units, making it difficult for students to complete in two years. We propose to reduce the required units for the Digital Media CoA to 18 and rename it to Digital Media Foundation. We also propose to create two areas of concentration as stackable Certificates of Achievement in Digital Audio Post - Production and Digital Video Post - Production. Students who complete the Digital Media Foundation CoA and at least one concentration CoA will be eligible for the Digital Media A.S Degree upon completing the required GE. We believe by streamlining the Digital Media program into these stackable certificates, we can significantly increase student completions and mor e easily facilitate articulation to four - year schools while maintaining alignment with the needs of industry.
