After last week’s approval from the Arizona Board of Private Postsecondary Education, Huntington University will open an additional location in Peoria, Arizona.
Huntington University has leased a 30,000 square foot building in the West Valley that will house bachelor’s degree programs in digital media arts. The three-story structure is located off West Mariners Way and 83rd Avenue in Peoria, provides free parking, and is within a short walking distance of nearby restaurants, entertainment venues, and student housing apartments.
The comprehensive program will initially offer majors in film production, broadcast-fusion media, and graphic design and all will be housed within the same building. The facility will feature film and TV studios, two high-end computer classroom/labs, private edit suites, state-of-the-art TV control room, Foley pit, a host of EFP and Cinema cameras, and lighting gear for student production work. Upon completion of their degrees, some of the career choices available to students will be motion picture production, editing, audio/studio recording, podcasting, broadcast journalism, sports broadcasting, commercial graphic artist, or media specialist.
Huntington plans to have the program ready to begin classes for the fall semester.
