What if I do not know what focus area that I would want to pursue?
No worries. Your Freshman year in e-Communication you will find out about all 4 focus areas: animation, graphic design, video and web. As you try them all you will discover what focus areas you are most passionate about. Your sophomore year you will pick up to 2. Your Junior year you will select one.
Do I have to endorse?
We highly encourage all of our students to pursue endorsements throughout their 4 years in our Academy.
Do I have to wait to be assigned client work or can I find client work on my own?
Many of our students’ families know other families who run their own business or work for corporate businesses. Often you will be able to find your own client work through your own connections. This can be approved by your e-Communication Facilitator and will count towards endorsement.
