This master's pathway is aimed at career changers who want to work in digital media but have no earlier grounding in technical or creative practice. It sits in the College of Professional Studies and is offered on the Boston campus, with other formats listed for online study and for Vancouver.
The curriculum opens with a block of foundational courses covering visual communication, programming basics and web creation. These are meant to be finished early, so that students can move on to the more advanced requirements. Students can then choose a concentration to focus on a particular area of digital media, take optional workshops, and finish with a capstone project supervised by a faculty advisor.
Students move through the program as a cohort, which supports collaboration and professional networking. The program carries a STEM designation and meets the requirements for F-1 student visas. Study can be full-time or part-time, and new students may begin in the fall or spring term.
