Berkeley City College's Multimedia Arts Program prepares students for entry-level jobs in Multimedia and provides skills-upgrading for those already employed in the multimedia field. The program is interdisciplinary and focuses on developing fine art, critical thinking, and computer skills. The Multimedia Arts Certificates of Proficiency are available in many specializations. For maximum student flexibility, each area of specialization is sequenced as foundation, basic, intermediate, and advanced coursework. Students who wish to earn a certificate must participate in the Student Success Program (Matriculation), which includes assessing academic skills and developing a Student Education Plan (SEP) with a Counselor. This plan will map a sequence of courses to help students complete their certificate regardless of the semester they begin classes.
