The photo program at Pierce has switched to digital cameras and processing. Darkrooms with chemicals for developing film and printing pictures are no longer used. We now have a state-of-the-art digital photo lab where students can use Mac computers for image processing and printing, as is currently done in the industry. Upon completion of this program, students will: • Demonstrate the ability to conduct research, gather information, write clearly and correctly, and present relevant news or persuasive information at a professional level. • Think critically, creatively, and independently; evaluate their own work and the work of others for accuracy, fairness, clarity, style, and correctness. • Demonstrate an understanding of the history of mass communications (journalism, cinema, broadcasting), the diversity of groups in a global society in relationship to communications, and the role of mass communications in society. • Demonstrate an understanding of the ethical concepts, legal implications, considerations, and practices that guide the mass media professions. • Demonstrate the ability to apply tools and technologies appropriate for the production, editing and presentation of visual, aural, textual, or other media content. Students who would like to earn an associate degree and transfer to a university bachelor program can achieve this goal with early educational planning. However, earning an associate degree is not required to transfer.
