Media and Public Event Production

The Media and Public Event Production Certificate addresses both current and emerging media and public event production technologies, which are presented both as a vehicle for creative endeavor and commercial activity. Opportunities are created for the development of relevant techniques in media content creation, content management, and public event technical support in a vast range of professional settings. Course offerings are both individually configured and strategically interrelated to facilitate the attainment of students’ professional goals in a wide breadth of production scenarios. Skillsets developed can prove vital to activity in diverse fields including commercial music, theatre arts, marketing, science, education, journalism, hospitality, entertainment, law enforcement, art, and audio/video/multimedia content creation, management, and presentation. Students of Media Content and Public Event Production become qualified for positions in areas such as audio/video/multimedia media content production, sound reinforcement, multimedia presentation support, systems design and integration, stagecraft, lighting design, production equipment transport, stage management, event promotion, and artist management. Students also develop skillsets necessary for successful long‐term professional activity in today’s multifaceted and increasingly entrepreneurial scenarios of gainful employment. A certificate is designed to provide career technical skills; it is not equivalent to an associate degree.
