There’s no limit to your creativity, and the Department of New Media, Art, and Technology at Indiana University Kokomo is here to help you explore your dreams and turn them into art.
Here, you’ll be encouraged to stretch your skills by spending time perfecting your specialty, but also learning other art forms.
This program is designed as a “slip’n’slide” between the right and left brain; where you’ll spend time creating in the traditional studio and time learning emerging, cutting-edge techniques in digital media.
By the time you cross the stage and receive your diploma, you’ll understand how to produce industry-standard work in your concentration, have the practical and theoretical knowledge to critique work, gain the verbal, historical and theoretical knowledge to present your work to an audience, and understand the professional practices required to succeed in your chosen area.
You will also leave with a portfolio filled with your best work, to help you land your dream job and advance in your career.
