Multimedia Technologies (2135)
Associate in Science or Associate in Applied
Science
The growth of the media production and entertainment industry in Florida
has increased the demand for experienced multimedia production professionals
in private industry, public service and education. The multimedia technologies
program provides a unique, interdisciplinary program in which students
will learn to integrate graphics, sound, video, animation, text, and still
images in preparation for jobs and careers in media-related industries.
NOTE: Students have two degree alternatives in this program: The associate
in science (A.S.) and the associate in applied science (A.A.S.). If you
intend to pursue further education at the university level, you should
enroll in the A.S. option. If you intend to go directly to work after
completing your associate’s degree, consider the A.A.S. While the
A.A.S. will not provide you with the articulation benefits of the A.S.,
the A.A.S. will provide you with the skills required to begin working
in the field immediately upon graduation. If you are unsure of which option
is best for you, please see an advisor for further counseling.
