Areas of Focus

Lighting Basics

The use of lighting is vital to setting a tone for an

event, as well as ensuring presenters or performers

appear well to the audience and on camera. In this

program, you will be introduced to lighting equipment

and will learn how to employ it in various types of

venues and events.

Your courses will place an emphasis on live lighting

components and system interfaces. You’ll become

familiar with concepts such as color theory,

photometrics, fixtures, dimmers, and the terminology

behind lighting operation and design.

Audio Basics

How audio is set up and delivered can make or break

an event. In the Event Production program, you’ll learn

the fundamentals of audio signal flow and become

familiar with the equipment and techniques involved in

sound for presentations.

In order to truly understand the audio needs of an

event, you need to understand the fundamentals of

audio itself. Your coursework will introduce you to

the foundations of audio, through topics that include

frequency, amplitude, distortion, noise, waveforms,

and harmonics – all of which relate to how we perceive

and manipulate sound for live events.
