Join the convergence of art, technology, business, and entertainment at SF State Extended Learning's Multimedia Studies Program (MSP).
Multimedia Education
Since 1992, the MSP has been the training leader in digital media trends and technologies. Our community of creative and technical professionals provides expert training at our state-of-the-art facilities. We are proud to be designated by Adobe Systems, Inc. as a Partners By Design School as well as an Apple, Adobe and Avid certified training center.
Scheduling
Evening, weekend, daytime and online classes provide flexible scheduling options for working professionals. Courses are held at the SF State Downtown Campus.
Multimedia Courses & Certificate Training
Recognizing the “multi” in Multimedia, the MSP offers tremendous flexibility to students who want to enhance their skill sets by cherry-picking courses individually or by earning an MSP certificate, crafting their own professional training path from the following broad categories:
-
Web & Mobile Design
-
Digital Video
-
Digital Media Design
-
Digital Audio
Course hours from Video, Audio and 3D topics (from our Digital Media Production series), are accepted towards an MSP certificate. In addition, they provide academic units for added flexibility. Courses from the MSP cannot be applied towards a Digital Video Intensive certificate.
Digital Video Intensive
Our Digital Video Intensive is a 16-week, full-time training program providing hands-on experience with digital filmmaking tools and techniques, plus critical knowledge in aesthetics and industry practices. Although many DVI grads work in film and television, it provides skills and knowledge for those seeking to become independent filmmakers.
The Multimedia Studies Program is committed to providing state-of-the-art production facilities for students to meet the demands of new applications and delivery platforms. The MSP has been actively developing partnerships with leading developers of new media technologies to assure that the program remains a vital force in professional education and technology training in the SF Bay Area. Currently, the MSP offers two prominent certificate programs: The Digital Video Intensive and the Multimedia Studies Program, along with shorter intensive certificates, to meet SF Bay Area professionals' needs.
Collaborating with leading industry partners, the MSP proudly continues to bring advanced digital media training to the community and gratefully acknowledges over 20 years of support and partnership with Adobe, Inc., and Apple, Inc.
