The computer age has brought with it a new medium of communication. Humans have changed the way they contact each other, the way they buy things, even the way they think. If students want to place themselves at the intersection of technology and tradition, a B.A. in Digital Design and Media Art from Wilkes University will provide them with a compass. Digital Design and Media Art is an interdisciplinary major that blends a solid design and technology core curriculum with the student's choice of one or more required minors in Art, Business Administration, Communication Studies, Computer Science, English, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Theatre Arts (Acting and Directing), or Theatre Arts (Theatre Design).
Students develop skills through projects that simulate business environments and result in the development of substantial portfolios. Students operate in teams to combine their skills and fill core positions -- production manager, producer, director, art director, editor, motion designer, writer, interactive guru, coder, animator, f/x artist, etc. -- of a production studio. From the freshman level through the senior year... students address real-world problems in a close-knit environment that nurtures the growth of personal vision, independent style, and self-exploration.
Learn how the creative process functions in the production world. Work creatively. Solve real problems in a deadline-oriented, high-end studio environment. If students are creative, or like to work in creative environments right on the cusp of technology, this is the major for them.
