Undergraduate Media Arts and Technology (BS)
Program Overview
Media Arts and Technology is a unique program that reflects the convergence of technologies that allow content to be created, formatted, stored, and then shared via computer-based publications, printed material, online services, and various forms of interactive media. This approach enables our students to build skills not only in traditional publishing but also in database management, new media production, networking, and mobile communications. The program is designed to provide you with the ability to use various content types across multiple output medias.
The course of study also allows you to explore other educational areas on campus, such as the School of Design, the Department of Information Technology, and the Vignelli Center for Design Studies. Concentrations within the major include Advertising and Media Strategy, Contemporary Publishing, Content Management, Digital Imaging and Premedia, Print Production, Print Quality, and 3D Computer Graphics.
As part of the curriculum, you will spend two ten-week sessions in a paid cooperative experience with a related business, learning the ropes of the printing and publishing industries. These real-life experiences within the industry will assist you in your ultimate job search. Upon graduation, our students can work with photographers, graphic designers, advertisers, and publishers to create cross-media communications that inform, entertain and persuade others. Graduates have found positions in advertising production, digital imaging, print production, and web design and development.
