Media Arts (B.F.A)

Over the last decade, changes to the communications and design fields have been massive—the divisions that once existed between graphic design and communication arts have disappeared, creating a merged field that we call Media Arts. The B.F.A in Media Arts includes concentrations in Design, Interactivity and Multimedia, and Digital Filmmaking, with room for experimentation within each area. Students choose their area of concentration at the end of their second year.

Students who complete the B.F.A. in Media Arts will have expertise in design and technology, preparing them to work in this constantly evolving field, whichever concentration area they choose.

The many and varied media arts industries need career professionals who are broadly trained and adaptable. Graduates of this program may find positions in traditional graphic design, the film industry, in web development or as exhibit designers, to name just a few of the possibilities.

Students entering the B.F.A. program in Media Arts will be working towards building a professional portfolio in their area of concentration. In order to work towards this goal, yearly portfolio critiques are required.
