The Butler Tech Digital Media Program is a college-prep media arts program designed for juniors and seniors who are interested in pursuing college majors and future careers in media production. Students explore every aspect of media production, including multimedia design, photography, audio production, video production, broadcasting, digital cinema, and entertainment business. Students will become experienced in all of the latest technology equipment and applications used in the industry today. Students will improve their communication skills, hone their leadership abilities, and develop strategies for working successfully in teams. And most importantly, they will be prepared for a successful transition to many exciting college majors and careers.

​

Students are taught a variety of techniques, visual awareness of cultures, artists, and art forms. Students will be exposed to media industry jobs, project deadlines, career and college speakers. Students can also earn CTAGs, which are equivalent to college credit in the state of Ohio. The CTAG credit is awarded to students who successfully pass their State of Ohio WebXams. This credit will be applied to their transcript to be shared with their future college/university. Students are also encouraged to pursue industry credentials in the Adobe Creative Suite, sUAS Drone Operation, and TriCaster production equipment.
