Trident Technical College - Media and Visual Arts

MEDIA AND VISUAL ARTS

Media and visual arts professionals have careers in film and media production, graphic design, multimedia, photography, and website design. Film production offers a number of opportunities in specialty areas including camera, sound, lighting and grip, rigging, sets and props, and post-production editing.

Media arts can lead to jobs in radio, television and video production. Visual arts play a role in nearly every business and every area of our lives. Visual artists work as graphic designers, animators, photographers and web/social media design specialists across a wide range of media in business, education, science, medicine, government, marketing and communications.

Trident Technical College’s combination of impressive facilities, extensive production equipment inventory, emphasis on the latest software and technology, application to visual literacy and communication through the arts, and outstanding faculty members place TTC in the ranks with the best media and visual arts programs.

TTC is one of the few two-year colleges in the country training students in a professional quality production facility on professional-grade film production equipment. Students in the Film, Media and Visual Arts certificate and degree programs are taught by a faculty of practicing artists and designers charged with developing the next generation

of creative thinkers and innovative designers. Fostering creativity in the studio and classroom helps students cultivate the critical thinking and collaboration skills needed to put them on the path to success. Our graduates play an essential role in how the world communicates and in determining how visual communication evolves.
