Overview

Mission Statement

A student using virtual reality glasses.

The Digital Media Studies major at the 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ introduces students to thinking about and making digital media through iterative refinement as they develop and reflect on what they produce and consume.

The program introduces and challenges students to see the form, function and impact of networked technology in society and in their own lives through a blended approach to natural sciences and the humanities.

By producing thinking makers and making thinkers, the Digital Media Studies program trains creative problem-solvers work in a wide array of digital media industries, study at the graduate level, and use digital media to empower positive change and address compelling contemporary issues.

In Digital Media Studies, we strive to pioneer new ways of learning and teaching, using our individual research to model ways for students to recognize intersections of culture and technology.
