Interactive Arts and Media

Interactive Arts and Media IAM
The Interactive Arts and Media Department is home to the Interactive Arts and Media Major, the Web Development minor and the Game Design major.

In the Interactive Arts and Media Department students learn to create interactive art, media, and games that are innovative and compelling. They work with faculty who are accomplished professionals to achieve several goals: thinking critically, solving problems creatively, and developing an individual and imaginative voice in their work. Students study aesthetics, theory, technology, cultural and ethical issues in preparation for entering diverse and successful careers in interactive arts, multimedia, web design, interaction and interface design, and game design.
