Students in the School of Media and Design create stand-out work. No matter which field of study they are pursuing, each degree program integrates, as part of their course work, opportunities to develop professional-level work. Upon completion of their programs, students will have developed a digital presence, interactive work samples or full portfolios that they can share with prospective employers as they prepare to enter the workforce.
