Course Overview

Our graduates become professional designers at top advertising agencies, interactive design firms and publishing companies. As students move through the program, they develop interests that determine which area of design they might pursue. The program includes opportunities for students to be placed in internships before they graduate. The internship program helps demystify the real-world experience of actually working professionally in the field. Students in the Digital Art and Design program have interned at SONY, NBC, Esquire Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Newsday, Time Warner, Disney, Marvel and Hearst Publications. Many students are hired after graduation by the companies that sponsor these Internships. Students also create both traditional printed and interactive portfolios of their design work, as well as a self-branding portfolio Website to help them secure employment opportunities.

Classes are small and students work in a fully networked, state-of-the-art suite of computer labs that are equipped with over sixty Apple Macintosh workstations, large format digital printers, digital video equipment and related peripheral technology. Our faculty is comprised of practising professional designers and authors in Graphic Design, Publication Design, Web Design, Digital Video, 3d Modeling & Animation and Interaction Design.

Students interested in transferring into the Digital Art and Design program should submit a digital portfolio of fine art and/or graphic design work. An interview is normally scheduled with faculty in the program to evaluate the design skills of the applicant and assist with a transfer credit evaluation.
