Program Description
Transfer Preparation
Multimedia is a term that implies using computers to design and create media products that are distributed across the range of electronic medium. The “multimedia industry” is a general term used to identify the businesses and people who create, promote, or distribute multimedia products. Multimedia products are used generally to inform, market, educate, or entertain and may consist of interactive DVD/ CD products, Internet products, video and photographic projects, digital art images, and printed material. Knowledge of multimedia concepts and tools can prepare students for employment in the fields of traditional business, e-commerce, art, photography, computer graphics and more. Transfer to a four-year institution is possible but not necessary for advanced employment opportunities. Completion of MSJC General Education Option A requirements for an Associate degree is recommended to enhance the students’ ability to relate content to product.
MSJC offers a range of course work to prepare students to transfer to four-year colleges and universities. All four– year institutions prescribe their own standards for course evaluation and admissions. Prospective transfer students are advised to review the MSJC catalog with a counselor to determine which MSJC courses are transferable to the receiving institution.

Mt. San Jacinto College 2008-2009 Catalog
Degree The major requirement for an Associate of Science degree (AS) in Multimedia may be met by completing 24 units of those required for the Multimedia certificate. Students planning to transfer should major in General Education and consult with instructors and counselors; since some Multimedia courses may satisfy MSJC General Education Option A requirements. This is a new field of study and may not have a complimentary program at fouryear institutions, so students should coordinate program requirements through the transfer institution.
The following Lab Courses are each one unit and designed to be taken to augment regular courses. They may each be repeated up to four times for credit: MUL-080, MUL-081, MUL-090.
