Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently, participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

OUR PROGRAM

The Advanced Digital Design program responds to a growing need within the design industry for a new skill set – one that crosses the traditional discipline boundaries of advertising, industrial and graphic design and new media design.

This program is designed to give power back to designers, teaching them the latest real-time interactive tools and technologies. With the integration of these technologies into public and commercial settings, such as museums and retail environments, as well as the education and medical sectors, designers need to be armed with key knowledge of interface design, information visualization and virtual spaces. They have a mission to create friendly systems and interfaces that dramatically improve the lives of consumers and sellers alike.

The program combines design education with software instruction and hands-on workshops to configure interactive design strategies using existing and emerging display technologies. You will be exposed to best practice examples and real-world models. You are encouraged to generate a unique design strategy and test it through an applied project directed toward the development of a fully functional, interactive demonstration prototype ready for a public audience.

YOUR CAREER

Graduates may go on to careers managing design in the game and digital media sector or in their own business. Graduates will have the specific skills and expertise for various careers in new media or interactive design to be employed as:

  • Creative Directors
  • User Interface Designers
  • Design Consultants
  • Project Managers
  • Web Designers
  • Web Developers
