MEDIATECH INSTITUTE - IRVING

About

Mediatech Institute, with locations in Dallas, Austin and Houston, Texas, and a new campus in Oceanside, California, began as an expansion of the business of music producer Russell Whittaker. Classes began in 1999, offering an audio engineering and studio techniques diploma. Over the next decade the program evolved, and has grown along with the number of campuses and students.
