Communication: Digital Media Production Certificate (COMM-CC-DIG)

CT State Community College Catalog 2023-2024 New students enrolling for the first time in Fall 2023 will begin as students of Connecticut State Community College under this catalog.  Continuing students from one of the 12 community colleges will be transitioned into a CT State program in this catalog as of the start of the Fall 2023 term. The policies, courses and programs described are applicable as of the Fall 2023 term and may be updated as circumstances require.

The Digital Media Production Certificate program provides exposure to up-to-date hardware, equipment and digital software to learn and practice basic video production, TV production, audio recording/podcasting and editing skills.  It is intended for individuals with no or partial media experience who wish to experience hands-on work in the applicable fields of radio/podcasting, television or video production. Students can practice necessary skills for potential employment in various digital media agencies, stations, and social media platforms - especially those that require work in either on-camera/on-mic and/or off-camera/behind-the-scenes. Classes are highly practical and provide significant hands-on opportunities, creative real-world projects, and building a professional media portfolio. Additional job placement recommendations, networking opportunities, transferable experiences, extra-curricular media clubs, and internship connections are also integral to all Media courses at MCC.

Learning Outcomes:

• Implement creative and interpretive skills through project-based work while scripting, producing, and editing original material for radio, television, video, and social media. 
• Identify and distinguish specific mass media industries, media job roles, and required media skills.
• Plan, generate, and edit written and oral materials for professional media projects.
