Program CostsIntegrated Media students should understand that they need to have access to computers with the same software we'll use during instruction in order to complete their work. While some parts of assignments can be done in class, significant out-of-class time is spent on homework. While having a computer connected to the Internet at home makes this much more convenient, those student who do not have access to a computer will need to plan on using the college's Open Computer Lab facilities each week to complete assignments. All students should have headphones and a 1GB thumb/flash drive. The following are average costs across all the option areas: FALL TERM 2008 WINTER TERM 2009 SPRING TERM 2009 FALL TERM 2009 WINTER TERM 2010 SPRING TERM 2010 TOTAL FOR ALL SIX TERMS: $1000 These costs are approximate, are subject to change without notice and are in addition to tuition. They only represent costs for ONLY Integrated Media core and Option courses. A complete supply list is presented during the first class of every term. At the beginning of each term, many art supply stores in Portland have 20% off sales. Many students invest in Macintosh computer equipment while at MHCC. A complete system including a scanner and printer can cost between $1,500 and $3,000. The major graphics applications: (Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium) Illustrator, Photoshop Extended, InDesign, Acrobat Pro, Dreamweaver and Flash Pro can be purchased at a significant savings while you are a student ($320) for all through TechHead.org .
