A minor in Digital & Media Studies offers an exciting opportunity for students to improve their critical writing and analytical skills by taking additional courses beyond their studio based Art and Design programs. The Digital & Media Studies minor focuses on contemporary history and theory, and enables students to integrate new technologies and digital practices into their work as a natural progression of their learning. This minor provides students with the critical background and breadth necessary to broaden their understanding of digital media technology, as they prepare for studio or academic graduate studies programs.
Not all courses are offered every year. Please consult the 2014/2015 schedule for up to date current offerings.
