The Diploma program integrates intensive, hands-on technical instruction in every part of the video workflow.  Between classroom instruction and supervised lab experience, the curriculum prepares students to effectively:

• Acquire footage using effective lighting, blocking, and camera settings
• Ingest, log, and organize footage
• Edit footage into coherent program form, and title the program
• Create motion graphics
• Composite still and video elements in two and three dimensions
• Produce a soundtrack to an adequate professional standard
• Color grade and relight footage for consistency and artistic effect
• Compress intermediate video for delivery via web, broadcast, or physical media
• Build an appropriate delivery vehicle for that video

Graduates will be equally well-situated to enter the video industry in a wide range of roles.  Graduates might:

• Establish their own production houses
• Take employment in a skilled video production role at most video communication companies
• Take employment outside the video industry as a video specialist
• Further specialize in a specific production role that appeals to them
