Degree
Change your life with a journalism degree. Our program gives you options to explore.
As a DVC transfer student to UC Berkeley, I worked at NBC Bay Area as a newswriting intern and this semester I am working at the same station for Telemundo 48 where I work as a sports producer intern. I want to get work experience as a reporter or producer/journalist and build a foundation to hopefully one day work in sports documentary-film making.

About degrees and certificates
Certificates:
A certificate readily prepares you to enter a particular field or career. It can also give you new skills for advancement in the workplace.
Associate Degrees:
An associate degree requires a broader education for career options in a range of industries. It's a great step towards earning a bachelor degree at a four-year school or entering the workforce sooner.
Associate Degrees for Transfer:
A transfer degree is equivalent to the first two years of a bachelor’s degree program. Earning one can guarantee admission to California State Universities, some private and online universities, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). ADTs, along with a transfer agreement guarantee (TAG) with the University of California system can help you achieve your goals for less. Learn about transfer services.
