Where the technical and human intersect is the field of new media - the use of computers and the Internet as means of human expression through the visual arts, music, voice, and text. The Bachelor of Science degree develops skills and knowledge in new media with the purpose of preparing students to manage and coordinate Internet and web operations and multimedia production and development. Focused on applied research and application, the degree is oriented toward professional practice and relies on a theory base drawn from fundamental disciplines which study communication as sight, sound and motion.

Students will be able to develop a web site from scratch with full knowledge of all elements required for development, operational support and security; develop programs in languages on multiple computer platforms; prepare and present a major project with full industry-standard documentation; plan projects; allocate and budget resources; and practice with an understanding of ethical, legal and regulatory considerations.

Career options include: 2D/3D artist, animator, creative technologist, multimedia producers, director of software development, electronic publisher, hypermedia specialist, Internet developer, graphic artist, interactive trainer, music producer, multimedia developer, composer, techno-artist, video/audio editor, webmaster, and web site designer.
