PROGRAM PLANNING GUIDE

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The 2-year Associate in Arts program is designed to prepare students for transfer to a 4-year college or university to complete a bachelor’s degree. The AA: Digital Cinematography—Performance Emphasis is for students interested in acting for cinematography, acting for television production, acting for web video production, or related fields. Students planning this degree should work closely with advisors at this college and the college or university they want to transfer to so that courses from South Puget Sound meet the specific four year degree requirements. Students must be eligible to take college level courses. PROGRAM OUTCOMES: South Puget Sound Community College prepares recipients of the Associate in Arts degree with an emphasis in Digital Cinematography Performance to: • • • •

Develop written, visual, and auditory content for digital cinematography performance; Manage information systems commonly used by digital cinematography performance; Communicate effectively. Think logically and critically.

•

Evaluate and process quantitative and symbolic data.

• •

Understand themselves in relation to others in a multicultural world. Understand ethical responsibilities and consequences.

This Associate of Arts degree includes general education courses that introduce students to the content and methodology of the major areas of knowledge (communication, the humanities and fine arts, the natural sciences, mathematics and the social sciences) and meets the transfer requirements of the fouryear colleges and universities as outlined in the Intercollegiate Relations Commission Handbook. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS: Based on placement testing, basic skills, pre-college English, reading, or math may be required before entry into certain college-level courses. In planning this degree students need to work closely with their advisor or a counselor because although the Associate in Arts Degree transfers to four-year colleges and universities in Washington State, it may not meet specific department requirements. (For example, business, engineering, education, etc.) See the Curriculum Planning Worksheet. To earn an Associate in Arts degree all courses taken must be at college level (numbered 100 or above). A minimum of 75 of the 90 credits required for the degree must be from the General Education List for the Associate in Arts/Associate in General Studies. Copies of the list are available in Building 25 or on line at www.spscc.ctc.edu. A maximum of 15 credits will be allowed for courses numbered 100 or above that are not on the GE list. In the Digital Cinematography: Performance Courses and Electives sections of the chart below, courses from the GE List are identified with an abbreviation identifying each category. A class can count only once toward General Education requirements. For example, MATH 205 will satisfy either QUANTITATIVE or NATURAL SCIENCE course requirements, but not both. A cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or above in all college-level courses is required.
