Discover innovative storytelling techniques through multimedia and audio. The New Media Sound Art (NMSA) program offers a versatile, interdisciplinary approach, enabling students to develop diverse media projects incorporating sound, video, interactive installations, digital fabrication, and electronics. This major investigates how technology intersects with narrative arts, providing both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience for crafting original, boundary-pushing research and creative works. Potential areas of exploration include electronic wearables, immersive soundscapes, computational creativity, and media-enhanced performances.

Students are encouraged to complement their studies with electives from other disciplines, blending media arts with ceramics, textiles, animation, or sculpture. Instruction comes from renowned, practicing artists recognized for their professional achievements.

Advanced coursework focuses on independent projects examining topics like audiovisual installations, acoustic environments, and data visualization. The program culminates with a significant capstone project, allowing students to pursue in-depth research or experimental creative processes.
