About Interactive Digital Media  (Click on this link to see more information about the program and read syllabus for each area/quarter of the class)

Important message to home school counselors, parents and students:  Beginning the school year 2012-2013 LLCC will no longer issue dual credit for Communications and Media Classes, this includes Interactive Digital Media.  This is a blanket directive for the entire Communications and Media area and has nothing to do with how well the students are taught.  We will attempt to get dual credit from another college.
