Mass Communication programs at Amarillo College are focused on preparing students for viable careers in an evolving media field. To that end, students enrolled in a two-year mass communication program are challenged to master basic media skills and to apply those skills within a converged media environment. Associate in Science (A.S.) degrees in mass communication are designed to satisfy the first two years of a four-year program at a senior institution. Career and technical education degrees (A.A.S.) and certificates prepare mass communication students for entry level positions in radio and television stations, production houses and advertising agencies. Additional Opportunities Scholarships Applications for AC scholarships are due to the Amarillo College Foundation office on March 1 preceeding the semester of the award. Students may qualify for both departmental and institutional scholarships. All students are encouraged to apply. Paid Student Media Jobs Multiple on-campus student media jobs are available through the student-produced media, including the student-produced newspaper and magazine, the 100,000-watt radio station, the AC Blog and the AC Film Crew.
