The associate degree program in television arts is designed as a two-year curricular pathway that offers a broad general education while preparing students for entry-level positions such as associate producer, assistant director, on-camera talent, camera operator, sound technician, video switcher, floor director, videotape editor, production assistant, radio board operator, radio producer, radio production engineer, and radio on-air talent.

Students must complete each of the required courses with a “C” grade or higher. Required courses can only be completed by attending a combination of day and evening classes. Certain courses may satisfy both major and general education requirements; however, the units are only counted once.

Selected courses in the program may also meet some lower division requirements for bachelor of arts programs at certain California State University campuses. Students who intend to transfer are advised to consult with a counselor regarding specific requirements.
