Welcome to the communication age! Everyday we rely on a variety of media to both send and receive information. Television, radio, audiotapes, compact discs, and photographic prints are all forms of media technology.

            Would you like to produce and direct your own music video or would you like to be an audio recording engineer? You could also produce photographs using student models to develop your own gallery portfolio.

            In communication arts technology, you will be taught all aspects of media. If you like to work creatively and artistically and enjoy technical equipment, media technology may be the career choice for you. You will learn also photography, black and white photographic printing, darkroom operation, script writing, theories of lighting, and theories of audio, audio engineering, video production, video editing, and radio production.

            After you complete this skill area, you may further your career by attending Allegany College of Maryland or other college programs, attend a technical school, enter the military, work at entry-level status in the communication arts industry, or start your own business. You may earn college credits at Allegany College of Maryland for the skills you acquire in the communication arts program through the articulation agreement.
