Media Arts (B.A.) - J

The B.A. in Media Arts will expose students to the full range of career opportunities through the media arts, with fewer credits than the B.F.A. in Media Arts. Students wanting to double-major might find this option more achievable. The B.A. in Media Arts will offer opportunities to explore the world of media and expression with emphases upon creative inquiry, collaboration, and adaptation to emerging technologies. Students will increase their familiarity with artistic and theoretical concepts associated with media and how it relates to many other academic disciplines.
