Also a Marketable Skills Achievement Award Program
With the global impact of the web, interactive multimedia technology professionals are in demand. The E-Business Media Program prepares students for this role, teaching them to create dynamic websites for distribution of information, web-based tutorials, business presence, and e-commerce.
This degree program offers specialization in e-business media and web development. Areas of study include multimedia, computer graphics, web authoring, web design, project analysis, Internet commerce, business applications, computer applications, and technical skills. The degree can provide a broad business background and professional skills needed to succeed in a career in e-business.
Three certificates are also offered, which can be applied toward the AAS degree. The certificates provide the knowledge to update current job requirements. After successfully completing a certificate, students can continue to work toward an AAS degree in E-Business Media.
Three Marketable Skills Achievement Awards are also offered, providing quick acknowledgement of success with a minimum of coursework. After successfully completing an award, students can continue to work toward a certificate and then an AAS degree.
