Student Experiences

“My Dallas College education provided me basic knowledge of the printing industry, along with training in the latest technology. The applications being used in today’s digital workplace are always changing, and the Digital Media Technology program gives up-to-date and extensive training on publishing software.”

“The most important things I learned were the various techniques of the camera and lighting, and the practical use of the computer to manipulate photos. All of the principles that I developed at Eastfield are used every day in the photography industry.”

“I really liked experiencing the various teaching styles. The instruction is really hands-on and class projects push you further than you would go by yourself. You really learn to think outside the box.”

“When my company began asking me to do print layouts, it was time to get some training. The Visual Communications program at Brookhaven was a perfect fit because I was able to take one or two courses per semester while still keeping my full-time job.”

“To me, it was what I could afford, just because you’re paying less doesn’t mean you’re getting less education. But, if I can get an education for less and still advance, it’s a no-brainer. I went on to UNT, then I still went on to graduate at SMU, but none of that education from Dallas College was disqualified. The credits counted 100%.”

“The best part was how easy it was to communicate with the professors and get access to everything I needed. I would definitely encourage students wanting an education in computer graphics to enroll in this program. It’s a good curriculum and a friendly environment.”

“The two and a half years I spent in this program were some of the best times I’ve ever had. I met so many great people (including my husband!) and made lifelong friends who have changed my entire outlook on life.”

“Eastfield provided me with my first formal education in the field of design, and overall it was a great educational, social and practical experience. School has provided me with a great deal of guidance and encouragement, as well as opportunities to prove my learning and appreciation of my talents.”

“This career is a good fit for me. It’s a good path for people like me who want to express themselves artistically but also want to have a good career opportunity in the business world. I would highly recommend Brookhaven’s program, and I think the whole career field will really grow over the next decade.”

“This program helped me build a strong foundation. The thorough curriculum, well-thought-out assignments and hands-on training offered by the faculty have given me all the experience I needed to step into the professional world with confidence.”
