BS Digital Arts and Sciences

Embracing the possibilities offered by new and emerging digital technologies, the BS degree in Digital Arts & Sciences (DA&S) prepares students for the growing number of career opportunities that combine creative engagement with technical proficiency and scientific understanding. DA&S takes a holistic and multidisciplinary approach that allows students to critically and creatively navigate the intersections of art and science. Possible career paths span a wide range of fields, including video game design and production; film, animation, and motion graphics; application design and development; scientific visualization and simulation; interactive display systems; extended reality and immersive experience design, and new media art. 

Students take advantage of courses in digital art, math, computer science and communication, media and design. The program’s objective is to combine artistic and scientific skills and interests to develop creative talent with a strong technical foundation. 

DA&S students develop their research and creative abilities through an extensive portfolio development process spanning multiple semesters. The culminating capstone experience requires each DA&S student to utilize their specialist areas of interest, creative abilities, and technical prowess, developed over their time in the program, to create a final project intended for public presentation or exhibition.
