Overview

The Integrated New Media Studies program at the Indiana University South Bend aims to educate our students in a wide range of new media professional, creative, critical, and aesthetic skills applicable to careers in art, communication, business, industry, government, and the professions.

The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Integrated New Media Studies with a Group Focus and Minor offers maximum flexibility to students seeking to tailor their degree to their career goals. Building on History and Aesthetics and Core Studies, students choose a Group Focus addressing their interests. The required Minor provides opportunity to develop skills in a second career area, or to pursue deeper preparation in addition to the Group Focus. Fifteen credits of free electives also provide space to expand on the student's Group Focus, to pursue a second Minor, or explore other areas.

Advising holds are placed on all Ernestine M. Raclin School of the Arts students prior to advance registration and are released following advising. Students with a declared major are advised in their academic units.
