Program Overview

Stackable Credentials

Accelerated Stackable Credentials Provide Fast & Flexible Preparation for New Media Careers

Amarillo College has created certificate and degree curricula to meet the evolving needs of the media workforce. 

The certificates vary in completion length from approximately three months to two years and create a series of stackable credentials that allow students to continually build upon their skills.

Mass Media 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 media 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 media 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 students for entry level positions in social media, online marketing, radio and television stations, newspapers and magazines, production houses and advertising agencies and much more.
