Overview
The IDeATe Media Design minor invites students on a wide-ranging exploration of the digital media landscape, offering an opportunity to embrace the full breadth of media arts disciplines within the IDeATe network.
The flexibility inherent in the Media Design minor allows students to create a learning pathway that mirrors their unique interests, integrating elements from the other IDeATe minors. This approach makes it an ideal option for students who wish to experience the broad tapestry of digital media arts or those yet to pinpoint their exact focus within this dynamic field. The Media Design minor therefore cultivates versatile media practitioners, ready to innovate within the diverse and rapidly evolving digital media arena.
Learn to:
- Design experiences across various platforms, from mobile devices and internet services to performances and large-scale installations
- Understand how technology and content relate
- Innovate within the rapidly-evolving digital media arena
The minor in Media Design is offered by the School of Art as part of the Integrative Design, Arts and Technology (IDeATe) network.
