The interactive multimedia program is a fast growing, cutting edge degree program for those interested in creating interactive media. If you want to spend your career creating media that communicate through dialog and interaction, this may be the right program for you.

Columbia College offers a comprehensive four-year undergraduate major in interactive multimedia production to meet the educational needs created by the rise of this new art form and the myriad industries which are adopting it. The Interactive Multimedia Program at Columbia College prepares students to participate in this new marketplace of ideas, to build art which not only communicates but responds.

Columbia's interactive multimedia program is designed for students who want to work in team interactive multimedia production environments. The program is a powerful synthesis of Columbia's acknowledged expertise in arts education and production combined with a dynamic new curriculum taught by faculty from Columbia's existing departments and working professionals from the interactive multimedia industry.

The program's core curriculum provides students with a well-rounded foundation in the component media which comprise multimedia products. The program's core also provides students with an in-depth understanding of the design issues raised by the unique aspect of this new medium interaction. Students build skills using the latest production tools and techniques, then complete the program in production team environments resulting in a portfolio of work with which to begin a career.

The job markets for interactive multimedia professionals are established and growing exponentially. Interactive multimedia specialists are in demand in practically every sector of the economy. The need for such professionals will only grow as interactive multimedia takes its place alongside print and the visual arts as a standard of human communication.

Columbia College has a rich history of nurturing the individual artistic creativity of students while simultaneously preparing them to be creative participants in the professional workplace. This history is continued in the Interactive Multimedia Program. Early projects and assignments which encourage students to explore their individual artistic expression are combined with a focus on team-oriented projects. The team projects are designed to equip students with the skills they need to thrive in the client-contractor environment. Our multimedia production studios are constantly evolving to provide students with hands-on access to the latest tools and techniques.
