PRODUCED AND PRESENTED BY

The two-year Associate Degree in Film and Digital Media Arts teaches technical “hands-on” skills and how to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. Students emerge from the program with the training necessary to work in the media industry and produce their own original content. Students graduate from the program with a capstone project in their reel and skills to launch a media career.

For motivated, career-driven students, we offer a Film Technician Certificate program. This degree articulates with the Bachelor of Arts degree in Film and Digital Media Arts at UNM Main campus. Students should consult with an advisor prior to enrollment.

Taos Ski Valley. As the world grows smaller, fresh adventures grow elusive, but in an intimate, enchanting village high in the Sangre de Cristo mountains of northern New Mexico, the holy grail of undiscovered big mountain skiing awaits. Close to an airport but far from conventional, Taos lives on the edge of unexpected with a distinct culture and a deep soul.

Here lives the rare, off the map of ordinary.

We will create opportunities to inspire their love for the mountains and respect for the environment. We will advance their prosperity by providing career opportunities through education, training, and mentorship. And we will support programming that emphasizes community connections with positive impacts to their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Our youth are our future. Our pledge is to both.
