Description

Mission:  We would like our students to challenge and rethink existing interfaces and interactions in order to create new experiences and application.  By questioning and responding to the world today, our student will envision and shape the world tomorrow.

Design, Art & Technology recognizes the convergence of media. Using the building blocks of image, sound, text and interactivity, design, art & technology majors hone their creativity and integrate their skills, developing websites, dynamic web and mobile phone applications, virtual and physical computing environments, motion graphics, and even businesses. The program will prepare you for the changing landscape of technology, while ensuring you have a strong foundation in both art, design, and media.

The BFA in Design, Art & Technology champions collaboration, creativity, exploration, research and analysis, risk-taking, and experimentation. The modular curriculum balances practice and theory, thinking and making. Students focus on their own creativity and imagination, while using technology as a tool rather than an end goal.The flexibility of the design, art & technology program allows students to tailor their education toward their interests and career goals, while being allowed to take major courses in other departments across campus. Students are encouraged to expand their horizons, suit their needs and satisfy their curiosity. During their time here as undergraduates, many design, art & technology students are able to complete multiple internships and work on various freelance projects.
