I chose ��Ĵ�ý because the music offerings were similar to the Los Angeles programs, but I could stay close to home. And ��Ĵ�ý was also tuition-free, thanks to the college’s multiple free tuition programs. I’ve worked in audio engineering and production management roles with GFI Entertainment, the Pacific Mambo Orchestra, and the Fillmore Jazz Festival.

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.
