Our campus location is a tremendous asset. Monterey lies only an hour from Silicon Valley, the greatest concentration of hardware and software producers in the world, and two hours from San Francisco, home to scores of creative designers and content developers. We have established working relationships with a number of trendsetting companies such as IBM, Microsoft, Macromedia, Apple, and Cisco Systems. These companies provide us with the latest in hardware and software and advise us as our dynamic program evolves. They also provide internship and employment opportunities for our students.
CSUMB is a relatively small campus, with fewer than 4,000 students. Our production classes are small, and you will receive the benefit of individualized personal attention as you work on hands-on projects.
The Media Learning Complex that houses our program is open late evenings and on weekends. In addition to general-purpose laboratories, our program maintains special purpose labs for networking, digital media production, animation, and software development. All labs are equipped with networked personal computers, printers, and associated peripherals. A service desk allows checkout of digital cameras, sound recording and playback equipment, and reference materials. The CSUMB library is also open late evenings and on weekends, and provides both workspace and computer facilities.
A state-of-the-art converged gigabit Ethernet network supports the integration of data, voice, and video services for students both on campus and off campus. Wireless access to this network exists across the main CSUMB campus. The network infrastructures support live and on-demand access to streaming video, allowing support for interactive television, video and audio conferencing, whiteboards, and more.
