Valpo's digital media program emphasizes visual storytelling and innovative problem-solving, equipping students to utilize these abilities across diverse computer-based platforms. The curriculum introduces learners to industry-standard tools for graphic design, photography, animation, video production, and similar creative disciplines.
The program reaches its peak with the senior thesis, a rigorous, hands-on capstone experience. During fall, students develop and pitch their project ideas, then implement them throughout spring under faculty guidance, culminating in a public exhibition of their final works.
Graduates gain qualifications for careers in graphic design and visual communication, along with preparation for advanced academic pursuits. The program mandates all students complete a professional internship aligned with their specialization.
Art majors pursuing a B.A. at Valpo must fulfill the university's general education requirements, which enhance communication abilities, analytical thinking, and cultural awareness through a comprehensive core curriculum.
