Digital Media Production

PURPOSE

“Impacting the World for Christ Through Media.”

With this motto, Communication at EC prepares students to be Christian communicators in learning, working, and serving with their minds, hearts, and spirits throughout college and life.

The Digital Media Production concentration is designed to equip our students with the skills needed to work professionally upon graduation in a variety of media-related fields. Our students learn from a wide range of software, camera, and editing equipment including the same software and equipment professionals use to create their own projects for class and their personal portfolios. This degree will prepare students for graduate school and entry level positions in media production & editing for churches, television, film, and social media.
