Digital Media (B.A.)

Multitasking is not just for computers anymore. In today’s field, it’s how a communications professional does business. Traditional communications jobs are being combined – one person now does what used to occupy a group of specially trained professionals.

Even with this convergence, the field of communications continues to expand, creating jobs and opportunities unimagined 10 years ago. This interdisciplinary major allows students to design and produce image-based content using digital technologies: computer graphics, digital video and animation.

This is a multimedia major with an emphasis on creating images with critical skills and mastering the applications which deliver them.
