The New Media Communication program focuses on providing you with design skills in web design, graphic design, video games, animation, digital video, and mobile application design. Using industry standard software, such as the Adobe Suites and Final Cut Pro, you’ll develop a solid foundation of knowledge and skills and then choose an area to specialize in.

Graduates have the skills for entry level positions such as web designers and web developers, graphic designers, video game designers, or creators of digital videos, animations, and mobile applications as well as a broad base of understanding that allows them the flexibility to perform many roles.

Featuring small classes and personalized instruction, we offer a unique, multidisciplinary approach that allows you to learn from faculty trained in a variety of areas. You can work with businesses on real-life projects and assist faculty on cutting edge research. You’ll learn in our state-of-the-art Macintosh lab, and our innovative Digital Media Center is perfect for working on your projects outside of class. As a student, you’ll be given free copies of industry standard Adobe software, such as Dreamweaver and Flash, to install on your own computers.
