Beginning in the Fall 2010 semester, undergraduate students can enroll in one of two digital media minor programs, each with a focus on different thematic cores. The DMART minor is an arts-oriented program, offered through the College of Art & Design, and the DMTEC minor is a technology-oriented program, offered through the College of Engineering.
Students in both programs will take foundation courses in the arts and computer programming. Students then will take three courses in digital media within their area of focus (arts or technology) and one course from the other area of focus. Finally, students from both programs meet in a senior capstone course that engages both arts and technology applications in collaborative, interdisciplinary projects.
The minor will prepare students for careers in fields such as animation, video games, electronic music and digital art. Some examples of digital media jobs students could pursue after college include:
- Digital Artist/Animator
- Character Rigging Artist
- Digital Technology Manager
- Game Designers/Developers
- Digital Sound Engineering
- Computer Programming
- Network Development
- Web Applications
