This demanding and diverse program creates proficiency in taking on multifaceted digital projects that reflect the hybridized nature of creative industries. In studio courses, students learn to produce high-quality creative content using emerging creative technologies routed in scholarship and artistic practice. Studies courses encompass the emergence and convergence of digital content, as well as communication technologies and methodologies.
