Hi I’m Monica Sepulveda and I’m here to unveil to you the new student tech kit that comes with the online Audio Video Production Program here at Laurus College. At other universities and colleges students have to schedule time in a shared studio space. In the Laurus College Audio Video Program we provide all the tools you’ll need to be successful. We wanted to change it up and provide students with online learning you can touch.
These products are going to come in handy when it comes to completing your projects for the program. Students are going to be cutting commercials, doing short films, making beats, and making songs with their own professional level equipment. We’ve got all the tools you need to complete coursework and learn professional workflows in your own home and at times that are right for you!
