Multimedia Arts and Sciences is an interdisciplinary program where students and faculty work in close collaboration with colleagues and peers from a variety of arts and sciences programs. Based on their choice of emphasis areas and electives, students develop a solid foundation in video art and production, interactive art and design (including Web design), and two- and three-dimensional animation. Through a balance of courses in theory, criticism and practice, students develop an understanding of design principles as applied to digital media. Upon graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree, students will have the technical experience, theoretical background and problem-solving skills necessary for careers in multimedia or for graduate studies.
The Program Objectives are:
- Teach students the current technical considerations and skills involved in the digital manipulation of text, image and sound.
- Develop the student’s ability to make aesthetic choices in communication and visualization.
- Cultivate student skills in written and oral communication.
- Involve students in individual and collaborative creative projects.
- Instill a sense of mission in the students about the positive contribution they can make in shaping culture and society.
- Maintain a high standard in the evaluation of student performance.
- Integrate ethical, historical and theoretical dimensions of the creative process into the realm of media.
- Prepare students for careers in industry, the arts, education or for post-graduate fields of study.
