Digital Media (BA)
Mastering the Art of Digital Design
Digital Media is a multifaceted, interdisciplinary program that provides for
the aesthetic, critical and technical perspectives vital for professional careers
in contemporary art and design practice. A diverse curriculum is presented,

of media communication. Starting with a solid foundation in traditional and digital
