The AAS in Multimedia Design transfers directly into the Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Integrated Design at Highline College, opening doors for promotion, increased salary, and enhanced creative design.
The Multimedia Design program at Highline College provided me with all the tools and support I could ask for in my art and design journey. Not only could my instructors give me advice on creating art in the workplace, but I gained valuable instruction on design, art fundamentals, and knowledge of how to use the software that is required in most design and multimedia careers. I feel fully equipped to jump right into an occupation that utilizes all that I’ve learned at Highline College. —REGINA WARREN, GRADUATE IN MULTIMEDIA DESIGN.
