Department/Program Goals

The goal of the interdisciplinary Digital Arts Program is to offer hands-on opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration, with an emphasis on digital, hybrid, and emerging technologies and practices. The program prepares students to participate ethically in a complex, highly mediated cultural landscape and critically examine the impact of rapidly evolving technology on society.

Concentration/Minor Description and Requirements

The minor in digital arts consists of five courses, and should include a 300 level course: the five courses are chosen in consultation with the Chair of the Digital Arts Program Committee, including at least three from the Digital Arts Studio Course list. Courses counted toward this minor cannot also be counted toward another concentration or minor.
