The Digital Media Arts option allows students to explore new media technologies into their art practice. Students have the opportunity for course work in the growing fields of Internet art, game art, digital narrative and animation, comic and illustration, and digital fabrication.
In addition, students will have access to the FabLab and design space that fosters a critical and collaborative art research environment where students investigate media technologies such as 3D printing, scanning, and CNC fabrication.
