Poughkeepsie, , New York ,United States

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN DIGITAL MEDIA WITH A CONCENTRATION IN ANIMATION

The Department of Art and Digital Media believes a sound foundation and an exploration of the fields of digital media, studio art, and art history should be combined with a strong liberal arts education to expand the intellectual horizons of our students. The department seeks ways to broaden their intellectual development through the investigation of state-of-the-art technologies in addition to traditional forms of study and techniques. The department believes an education in the visual arts should go
beyond the classroom, lab, and studio. Opportunities are provided to exhibit artwork, visit galleries and museums, obtain internships, and study abroad.

The Department’s mission is to prepare students for careers and graduate study in the fine and applied arts.
