The program incorporates graphic and interactive design (multimedia production and scripting, web design, animation, video production, motion graphics, sound and 3-D modeling) to primarily focus on the production of rich digital applications for education, business, and entertainment.
The B.F.A. is an intensely focused professional degree structured to facilitate development of a mature, diverse and competitive portfolio. It prepares students for full participation in the professional interactive design community. The interactive design curriculum is sequential in nature.
