Media Arts, Design, and Technology Department

Welcome to the home of the Media Arts, Design, and Technology Department where we celebrate the synthesis of art, craft, and technology. For Fall 2020 we are working virtually with the exception of some key hands-on blended courses in video and audio production, directing and digital photography. Please find information on our programs: the BFA in Communication and the BA in Media Arts with Options in Production and Criticism on the left side of the page. Students, you can find faculty and advisor Zoom office hours (where you can drop in for assistance) on the left as well. If you have any other questions, please contact the department Administrative Support Coordinator Ann Wilson or Chair Jennifer Meadows.

Also, if you just need some general guidance moving forward, please contact our CME Student Success Advisor Shawna Lucas.
