Associate of Applied Science Degree - Media Systems Technology
62 Credits/60 Weeks
Objective:
Madison Media Institute's Media Systems Technology (MST) program prepares students for entry-level employment in the audio-visual and media systems fields.
To prepare for a career in media systems technology, MMI students are grounded in principles of electricity and electronics, and the application of low-voltage electronics to residential and commercial applications.
Target jobs include:
- Residential electronics installation technician
- Home theatre installer
- Audio-visual technician
- Low-voltage field service technician
- Low-voltage installer.
These positions are typically found within low-voltage integration companies (sellers and installers of security systems, fire alarms, intercomm systems, home networks, and audio-visual systems), business communication (voice+data) infrastructure resellers, high-end consumer electronics retailers, and cable/media companies. Trade associations for MST professionals include InfoComm, the National Systems Contractors Association (NSCA), the Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association (CEDIA), and the Electronic Systems Professional Alliance (ESPA).
In addition to these skills, the MST program introduces students to non-technical aspects of the media systems business, and breaking trends in the industry.
