College Credits Available @ CCM!

Major Breaking News!!!

Beginning this fall…. There will be college credits available to all CCM Graduates!! (Even to those who have graduated all the way back to the first class!)

Here’s the deal:

CCM and Sterling University, http://www.sterling.edu/ , are partnering to provide a Film & Television intern experience that equips aspiring, talented professionals with the skills to make it in “the biz,” a solid spiritual plan and foundation for the
entertainment business pro, and NOW COLLEGE CREDITS to all CCM’ers who graduate with full certification!


The specifics:

The same uniquely hands-on experience that CCM has always provided continues… but now you can get college credit for the time invested!
Sterling University is offering nearly half of the college credits needed to get a bachelor’s degree to every CCM 2-Year graduate. (Credits are available for 1 year CCMers as well.) And it gets better: All of those credits are free if you attend Sterling University to complete your bachelors! [Sterling University entry requirements apply and must be met.]

The Math:

Every bachelor’s is a bit different… but on average, at Sterling, it takes 124 units
to obtain the degree.
During the time spent @ CCM each individual could qualify for :
12 Units -- General Education (out of 52 required)
48 Units -- Major Classes (out of a 48 required) [Communication Arts Degree – Film/TV]

[NOTE: 24 Elective credits would also need to be completed to get your degree]

In short you could get 60 college credits for what you accomplish @ CCM!

In short you could be nearly half-way through the time it will take you to get your bachelors degree when you graduate CCM.

In short you could have nearly half the credits you need to get your bachelors for ZERO dollars extra beyond what you will pay for your CCM experience.

And it gets better...

If you decide to NOT go to Sterling you can “buy” a transfer of these credits from Sterling to the university of your choice for $55 per unit. (2 years of college credit for $3300) Do the math. 2 years of college credit x $55 per unit = AMAZING!

Agreement has already been reached on the credits that will go toward a COMMUNICATION ARTS // Film & Television degree.

Soon to come (within a matter of weeks): Graphic Arts degree, 3D Animation degree, Film Score & Composition degree.

Note: The Gen Ed credits come directly to you from HA UG Classes.

One last Note: All current CCM Graduates (Classes 2005 thru 2007) are eligible for retro- active credits! But, and this is important… college credits are only good for 7 years. So the window for graduates from the first class will be closing in 2010 for the credits you would be eligible for from your first year @ CCM
