Like the Digital/New Media Track, this interdisciplinary program in collaboration with the Department of Fine and Performing Arts prepares students for careers in computer graphic design work for news organizations, advertising and graphic design agencies and industry.
This intense program gives students a thorough grounding in traditional artistic forms in addition to a focus on their chosen media: computer art. Students who are confused as to whether to select the Digital/New Media Track of JMC or the interdisciplinary program can get advice from Davies and other professors who will help them determine the best path.
