Mission & Vision
Mission & Vision
Literacy in media arts is broad, diverse, and addresses creative, conceptual, and technical competencies that exist globally.

Therefore, students should gain experience in production and design that has real-world relevance and applications that can include the following:
Multimedia Communication
The ability to communicate and express in a variety of media forms or combined media, using various tools and processes, for specific purposes, intentions, and audiences.
