Film, Television, and Electronic Media Associate in Science Degree for Transfer

The Film, Television and Electronic Media AS-T Degree prepares students for seamless transfer to applicable CSU campuses.

This degree is designed to develop a well-rounded beginning level coursework in television/film production, audio production, film/media history and the business of electronic media.
