Digital and Media Arts Minor

Program of Study

The Minor in Digital and Media Arts combines practice and theory in digital art, internet art, media design, video, audio, and hybrid media. It offers the student an introduction to technologically based art and design as well as video and sound production through research and lab-based courses. The minor encourages students to be experimental in their approach to art and media.

Students whose primary interest is to study the role of media and technology in societies/cultures should see the Media Studies Minor. Students whose primary interests are film history, theory, criticism, and appreciation are encouraged to see the Film Studies Minor .
