Overview

Program Description New media is an ever-changing form of digital communication that engages, immerses, and often entertains users. The term new media was first coined in the mid-80s to refer to the impact computing was beginning to have on traditional forms of media, like newspapers, radio, and television. But as digital platforms began to evolve beyond the internet, new media came to encompass all types of information and entertainment accessed by computers, phones, and tablets. New media now encompasses anything that integrates communication, computing, and technology – from social media networks (Facebook, Instagram) and music and television streaming services (Spotify, Hulu, Amazon Prime), to highly interactive digital technologies like wearables (Apple Watch, FitBit), virtual reality, augmented reality, and gaming. In the new media interactive development degree, the course work is concentrated on programming and interactive development with in-depth classes on topics such as mobile development and alternative interfaces, website design and implementation, physical/wearable computing, game design, game development, design and media production, interactive audio, and more. Students will build professional-quality web sites, apps for mobile devices and tablets, and create social networking applications that connect people with technology and each other. They’ll learn to program using current and emerging technologies for interactive web design, touchscreens, wearables, and interactive objects in a digital environment. In addition, course work in design principles will make the interactive experiences students build look polished and captivating. Two blocks of cooperative education experience gives them full-time, paid experience working in industry.
