Students will engage in building and developing games and playable media experiences while completing courses in computer science and specialized game technology and design.

The Department of English and the Department of Art + Design offer an interdisciplinary combined major in English and graphic and information design.

The Department of Mathematics and the Department of Art + Design offer a combined major in mathematics and graphic and information design.

Inform the reporting of critical and complex stories through the design of data visualizations, messages, interactions and experiences.

Students interested in the combined major integrate the study of communication skills and processes with the study of the creation of the narrative arts, required for professional work in documentary film, game art and promotion, visualization, motion graphics, interactive art, illustration, and short animated films.

The computer science and media arts combined major is ideal for creative students who love technology. You’ll acquire a solid foundation in both fields through curriculum that spans photography, animation, video, database design, computer graphics, and human-computer interaction. Media Arts general learning outcomes 1. Demonstrate awareness of the foundation and historical methods of digital media and applying research in portfolio development. 2. Analyze and critique artistic media effectively through both verbal and written communication, showing the ability to collaborate with peers and related disciplines. 3. Create a large body of portfolio work representing a wide range of concepts reflecting advanced level of analysis 4. Evaluate current and future trends in the development digital media by employing skills to disseminate and share information over the medium. 5. Explain and employ a unique personal style that shows significant contribution in the medium.

Students pursuing the combined major are able to integrate the theory and practice of contemporary media studies with the deep appreciation of the narrative arts that is required for professional work in documentary film, game art and promotion, visualization, motion graphics, interactive art, illustration, and short animated films.

Combine the production, performance, and art of theatre with design of messages, services, interactions, and experiences.

This program is designed for students who want to combine a knowledge of the art of theatre with the theories and practice-based design disciplines.

Animation concentration provides a comprehensive exploration of the entire production pipeline for a variety of animated content including films, visual effects, broadcast, visualization, games, and spatial media.

The Photography program encourages experimental and self-disciplined engagement with photographic processes in order to understand how materials function, both as a physical component of photographic work as well as a signifier of meaning. Concept and process are in constant dialogue and we believe in learning through doing to cultivate individual vision and working methods. Each student’s creative approach establishes a vital platform for discovery. In addition, theory and conceptual development provide students with necessary analytical tools for understanding and analyzing visual and technological trends in current and future photographic practices.
