OUR PROGRAM:
UNCA's new media program is designed to prepare students to go on to a graduate school. Some preparation is made throughtout the student's tenure to produce a portfolio. This portfolio can be used to get an intership or to apply to graduate school. This program should in no way substitute for hands-on, "real world" experience the kind that employers are looking for.
MISSION:
The Mission of the New Media Program is to educate students using current new media theory as a springboard for effective communication in digital environments. Students will have both hands-on technical experience and the conceptual problem-solving ability required for competing on a professional or graduate school entrance level upon completion of the program, with a Bachelor of Arts Degree. The program is interdisciplinary, working in close collaboration with our colleagues in Art, Computer Science, Drama, Mass Communication and Music. Based on their choice of concentration, students develop a solid foundation in two- and three-dimensional animation, video production, Web site authoring, information and interactive design, and sound recording.
