Our B.S. program emphasizes how you can use technology and the practices of information design, media expertise, and graphics to communicate effectively. Your studies will be focused on the audience--the readers or users of your information. You'll learn how to create user-centered artifacts--websites, documents, multimedia, or visuals--that meet the needs of readers and audiences.
With concentrations in Information Design and Digital Media and Graphics, you'll develop strong communication skills in both print and digital media. You'll be prepared to work in fields where computer-mediated communication and technology competency are in demand.
Information Design is the art and science of making complex information easier to understand and to use. As communication professionals, information designers solve communication problems. Information designers learn to understand audiences and create products that serve the needs of those audiences. With digital tools and technologies, information designers create products that work for people.
Digital media today is text, graphics, animation, video, and more. When you combine these elements together into a product people can use, you're a multimedia developer or instructional designer. By learning about an audience's needs and goals, digital media and graphics professionals help bring information to people by providing the right material in the right format.
