Minor in Media Arts
Description
Students learn an interdisciplinary approach to contemporary arts, digital and emerging media technologies within the context of the theory and practice of our disciplines and a liberal arts education. Students explore a range of tools, software and arts disciplines as a means to enable expansive experimentation and innovative creative research. Students begin by building theory, knowledge and foundational skills in various areas of study, including film, computer graphics, web media, technical theatre design, and the recording arts. Students are then challenged to synthesize theory and practice through collaborative inquiry to produce an interdisciplinary capstone project. 25 credits and must receive permission to declare minor.
