In-person instruction is temporarily on hold due to COVID-19 safety guidelines. All new students will begin classes remotely through our Learning Management System (LMS), Zoom and other video communication and web collaboration platforms. We have adjusted our courses so you will begin with your theory-based classes first and then move into more hands-on production courses once we are allowed to return to campus. This means you can start your degree program now without worrying about missing out on our equipment, production stages, editing labs and recording studios. Thank you for helping us stay safe!
