Former for-profit media arts college in Madison, Wisconsin (1969–2018).
Madison Media Institute specialized in media arts education, offering associate and baccalaureate degree programs. The curriculum included audio production, music production, graphic design, web design, animation, game design, video production, photography, visual effects, and entertainment/media business skills. Students could specialize in the business aspects of entertainment, music, video, film, and media industries.
Established in 1969 by Ray Szmanda as Trans-American School of Broadcasting, the institution evolved to reflect changes in the media field. Ed Hutchings acquired the school in 1986 and operated it until 2007, when American Higher Education Development Corporation (a New York company) purchased it. The college expanded to include a Minneapolis branch campus in Edina, Minnesota in 2009, which closed in 2017. The main Madison campus closed in August 2018.
Tuition for two-year degree programs ranged from $32,000 to $46,000, depending on the program and campus location.
