Communications, Media and Studio Arts
About the program
As a result, students acquire a broadly based knowledge set, which prepares them for acceptance into various university programs. As well, in the Portfolio Essentials course, students build a portfolio they can use for admission to programs requiring a portfolio of studio and theory-based work. Our facilities include two media labs with Apple workstations for video editing, photography and design as well as a makerspace studio, a cinema screening room, and painting, drawing and sculpture studios. Still and video cameras, sound recording equipment and light kits are provided by the college. Peer tutoring programs are in place to ensure student success in all their creative projects. The department houses the active, student-run Henry Lehmann Gallery where student art is shown in regular exhibitions. There are also annual events such as the Graduating Exhibition and the Video Festival.
