Career Options
In our increasingly fluid mass media landscape, communication design and media-related degrees play an expanding critical role in communication and education. Energized by rapid developments of new technologies, from visual and audio software to social media platforms, there is an urgent need for experts in the field of media arts, design, and the technologies that inform them. In areas as diverse as scripted entertainment, live broadcasting, photography, social media storytelling, commercial advertising, and even personal media consumption, the importance of communication design and the role of media industries are as vital as ever.
Studying in the arts, media and technology major at the CMAT, you will invest time in a traditional arts studio, as well as in coursework in graphic design, video production, block coding, digital imaging, gaming and 3D printing. The degree curriculum will provide you with the expertise and insight that you'll need to create solutions that persuade and move users and viewers. Through hands-on, creative arts-focused internships in the area, you can apply what you learn in a professional setting to further your comprehension and skills. Additionally, courses in entrepreneurship and communication can help you prepare for potential careers in contemporary art and design fields.
