Media Production Academy
Love film, YouTube, photography, or storytelling? In the Media Production Academy, you’ll plan, shoot, and edit real projects using professional cameras, audio, lighting, and industry software. You’ll rotate through crew roles—director, videographer, editor, producer—while building a portfolio that stands out for college and careers.
Year 1 builds strong skills in pre-production, production, and post-production. In Year 2, you’ll produce media for internal and external clients, pursue internships, and customize a specialty—advanced projects, client work, or additional CCP coursework through CSCC.
