What is Digital Media?

Digital technology is changing how we do everything. More than ever, it is important to be a critical consumer and educated producer of digital media.

Sometimes known as new media, digital media consists of computer-based, networked technologies that represent and imagine the world. It is the new standard for literacy in the 21st century.

At 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳, the digital media studies (DMS) major incorporates history, theory, analysis, and production of digital media from its two principal axes: science and technology, and art and humanities.

Designed by faculty from nine disciplines, DMS:

  • Provides students with the skills necessary to become active producers of digital media
  • Equips students with the rigorous framework for advanced critical thinking and writing
  • Requires nearly equal measures of theoretical and historical work
