HISTORY
Commercial Media Arts (CMA) was launched in 2014 to cater to passionate, ambitious, and high-potential students aspiring to join the creative industry. Our mission is to help students unleash their creative potential and showcase it to the world.
We started with just a few qualified students, and to this day, we carefully screen applicants to ensure they are ready for our program. Our students have conducted several exhibits, attended conferences, and participated in Animahenasyon, where they proudly reached the finals.
The worldwide pandemic challenged us to shift from traditional face-to-face classes to online learning. This transition opened more opportunities, allowing us to offer our program not only to local students but also to those from other regions and abroad. Currently, we continue to implement full online classes for the convenience of both instructors and students.
We are proud that our graduates are now gladly contributing to various industries. What began as a vision to share our instructors' knowledge and expertise has flourished for a decade! Ten creative years have passed, and we remain dedicated to helping the next generation imagine, create, and inspire as they pursue their dreams.
