VCUarts has added another entrepreneurial program to its line-up of courses that prepare students for their professional careers. Launching spring 2016, the advanced media production (AMPT) program is designed to connect graduates with employment opportunities in the expansive field of digital media production.
The curriculum has a hands-on, project-based approach that brings disciplined craftsmanship together with innovative technology. Students will be encouraged to approach the development of digital media with a cross-disciplinary, entrepreneurial spirit and to apply information and communications technology in novel ways.
“Students will be working with industry professionals in the vast arena of the media production industry,” said Matt Woolman, VCUarts’ executive director of entrepreneurship. “And that includes sound, sight and motion. Those are the basic three categories in the technologies involved. So the applications range from animation [and] music videos to commercials … video games, everything that involves all those in one integrated form. The students will get an immersive experience in learning the technology while developing dynamic content for a range of applications.”
