Media and Communications

Print, the digital image and interactive multimedia are just a few of the growth areas in communication today, offering a wide scope of possibilities for the enterprising student.

Interactive Multimedia, Journalism, Photography and Digital Imaging, and Graphic Design encompass the media-focused programs at Holland College. All four diploma programs offer comprehensive curriculum and encourage students to graduate with a portfolio fashioned to their personal goals. In response to student and industry demand, the Interactive Multimedia program is available on a part-time basis with modules being offered at specific dates and times through the year.

As part of the Media and Communications Department at Holland College, students have the opportunity to collaborate with students in the other creative disciplines. While the student initiates many aspects of the learning process, professional instructors guide the outcome based on real world experience.

And our students are award winning!
