About

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Media Experience is a hands-on, creative introduction to the diverse fields of media. Through a unique integrated learning approach, students create an array of media-based elements and projects, encompassing basic technical skills and theoretical exploration.  In addition to preparing you for any one of Loyalist’s School of Media, Arts and Design programs, Media Experience gives you skills and tools you can use in any path you choose.

Projects are completed via workshops and labs, during which students observe, practice and implement new skills each week under the supervision of faculty. Design fundamentals, media writing, visual storytelling and presentation are emphasized.

In the second semester of the program, students select an area of specialty and create a targeted learning portfolio, under the supervision of a faculty advisor. The portfolio is used in the evaluation and consideration for potential exemption from modules or courses in a Media Studies diploma program at Loyalist.

Media Experience students may reserve a place in a media diploma program of their choice, provided seats are still available.
