Media and Visual Arts
Visual Arts plays a role in nearly every business and every area of our lives. Visual artists work as graphic designers, animators, photographers and web/social media design specialists across a wide range of media in business, education, science, medicine, government, marketing and communications.
Trident Technical College’s combination of impressive facilities, extensive production equipment inventory, emphasis on the latest software and technology, application to visual literacy and communication through the arts, and outstanding faculty members place TTC in the ranks with the best media and visual arts programs.

Students in the Film, Media and Visual Arts certificate, degree and Workforce Training programs are taught by a faculty of practicing artists and designers charged with developing the next generation of creative thinkers and innovative designers. Fostering creativity in the studio and classroom helps students cultivate the critical thinking and collaboration skills needed to put them on the path to success. Our graduates play an essential role in how the world communicates, and in determining how visual communication evolves.
