Art and Design (B.F.A.) - Digital Media Arts Concentration
The B.F.A. concentration in Digital Media Arts (DMA) is a studio-intensive and interdisciplinary program of study. Students in this program gain competencies in animation, sound and video production, 3D modeling, interactive design, and a range of related disciplines. Studio work begins at the freshmen level and advances with greater intensity as the student focuses their concentration via a menu of interdisciplinary choices between art, art history, communications, creative writing, music, theater, and television film arts, and then concludes with a capstone project.
