The goal of the 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.
The minor in digital arts consists of five courses: three or four courses in digital arts studio courses, one of which must be at the 300-level; and one or two history/theory courses. Courses counted toward this minor cannot also be counted toward another concentration or minor.
