You will study seven to ten ( 7 – 10) subjects per semester. General academic subjects will be delivered via lecture while specialized subjects will be taught through a lab-based format. For the Media and Visual Arts Strand, you will study specialized subjects such as:

• Drawing
• Elements and Principles of Graphic Design
• Digital Photography
• Writing for New Media
• Color Theory
• Typography and Layout
• Fundamentals of Film and Video Production

*All classes are taught through online instruction and recorded so that students may access them at their own convenience. Synchronous lecture classes do not exceed one (1) hour. Labs may go beyond one (1) hour as these classes focus on more practical lessons and thus, are more hands-on.
