ASSOCIATE OF
FILM & DIGITAL MEDIA ARTS

The two-year Associate Degree Program in Film and Digital Media Arts teaches both technical hands-on skills and media theory. Students emerge from the program with the skills necessary to understand the trends of the media industry and produce their own original content. This program focuses on teaching industry-standard skills and developing an entrepreneurial mindset. Students graduate from the program with a capstone project in their digital portfolio and with a solid introduction of what it takes to launch a media career. This degree articulates with the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in Film and Digital Arts at the UNM-Albuquerque campus. View FDMA student work here.
