Applied Multimedia is part of the Art and Art History Department. This program provides an in-depth exploration of the development and delivery of interactive multimedia and Internet content. It examines the latest developments in multimedia technologies, techniques, and theory, with emphasis on using digital media for electronic publishing, computer-based training, distributed learning, corporate communications, and web design. The program also helps students develop project management and design skills.

In addition to examining the hardware and software involved in creating digital media, the courses explore historical perspectives, design considerations, and evolving issues in multimedia. Students gain extensive hands-on experience using both Macs and PCs. They work with CD-ROMs, DVDs, digital cameras, digital video, animation, color scanners, the Internet, and authoring software. Applied multimedia courses demonstrate the numerous applications of these new technologies in a wide range of disciplines, with special consideration given to applying these tools in the student’s area of major study. Classes are suitable for students from any major.
