Interactive Arts and Media

Code is the new canvas.

In the Interactive Arts and Media Department, you’ll work with new and emerging technologies to create the immersive experiences of the future. We’re at the forefront of creative tech—from video games and animation to virtual reality (VR) and app development. You'll cross-train with Columbia's talented faculty of user experience designers, animators, game developers, programmers, and visual effects artists who will become some of your best collaborators and help bring your ideas to life. With cutting-edge courses that keep pace with emerging technologies, you'll prepare for life as an immersive multimedia storyteller and be well-versed in new media industries.
