The Live Entertainment Technology program prepares individuals for entry-level employment in the entertainment industry, particularly in the fields of concert sound and lighting. Coursework includes exposure to the entire live concert sound and lighting processes. Students will learn the fundamental knowledge, skills, and abilities to design, maintain, and operate technology systems in entertainment and sporting venues, churches, auditoriums, casinos, convention centers, etc.

This program leads to an Associate of Applied Science Degree and is preparatory for employment upon graduation from MGCCC. Where a transfer to four-year college or university is desired, a conference should be scheduled with a MGCCC advisor.

All students completing a career or technical program must complete a MGCCC Board- approved Technical Skills Attainment where applicable. Students should see an advisor for further details.
