The Bachelor of Media Arts equips students to meet evolving digital media industry needs by developing technically proficient, innovative, and team-oriented artists who understand the historical context and ethical considerations of the field. The program fosters professional communication abilities, creative solution-finding, and effective project oversight. Specialized concentrations enable students to focus on their professional aspirations and artistic interests.
Those enrolled in the degree program should consult with the Fine Arts, Design, and Media Academic Advisor.
