Creative Careers Start Here.
Do you have a story to tell?
Whatever your medium—the pen, the brush, the screen or the stage—SLCC can help you tell your story and start your career as a creative.
Creatives collaborate.
That's why we built our Center for Arts and Media; it houses 17 arts and communication programs amidst industry-standard equipment and encourages interdisciplinary collaboration.
Creatives communicate.
That's why we brought 3 self-expressive disciplines into 1 cohesive Area of Study. For our students, the medium is as important as the message. How will you tell your story?
Are you curious about a creative career, but not sure where to start?

Tactile design students may feel drawn to fashion or interior design degrees, while performance-oriented students find their muse in video/radio production, music or theatre arts. Students committed to veracity and connection can see the world up close through communication studies and journalism & digital media.

Plan with Your Advisor
Academic Advisors help you make experience-based plans for your pathway. When we say experience, we mean both the street smarts you bring to SLCC and any “a-ha!” moments that happen during your first semester.
Save Time, Save Money: Follow Your Plan
Transfer and graduation plans don’t need to be complicated. Your advisor will help you graduate and transfer to a four-year school or join the workforce in the fastest, most cost-effective way possible.
Become a Student with Staying Power
SLCC faculty teach in high-impact ways. Your first-year experience will give you staying power within and beyond the classroom.
Celebrate Your Success!
You made it! But that doesn’t mean we’re any less here for you. SLCC Alumni have access to career services for up to 1 year post-graduation and our transfer center can field continuing questions.
Advising
The first day of school can be disorienting; we’re here to make sure it’s just the opposite. Before day one, you’ll meet with your Arts, Communication and Digital Media advisor and a group of other first-year students to learn about scheduling appointments and registering for the right courses.
Excited to meet your advisor? Have you applied to SLCC? Great! We're waiting for you at orientation.
Sign up for new student orientation now.
You choose when and where. It's free, and breakfast or dinner is provided. Online options are also available.
Whatever program you choose, count on 2 face-to-face pit stops with your advisor along the way. We will, too. Find your advisor by Area of Study and major now, or contact Elizete Bond, lead academic advisor for Arts, Communication and Digital Media.
