The Digital Media Arts major consists of two tracks-Multimedia Development and Web Development

Multimedia Development

Multimedia is the skillful merging of computers, cre­ative talent, some programming, asset management, the use of advanced software for the creation of digital sound, video, 3-D modeling and animation, design principles and project management. The major focuses on the new media, the organization and display of information, and the development of interactive applications. Students are free to pursue their creative, artistic talents or their desire to aspire to the more technical component of multimedia development. Graduates find employment in media writing, web design, web application development, instructional design, 2- and 3d-Modeling, animation and graphic design.
