About

This program integrates courses in visual arts and design, information sciences and technology, communications, and General Education electives. You'll create projects using leading multimedia applications and programming languages in this dynamic, project-based curriculum. You'll also have the opportunity to study in a collaborative format that will allow you to work with other students to further explore and apply what you're learning.

Renowned faculty from Penn State's College of Arts and Architecture, College of Information Sciences and Technology, and the Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications teach the courses offered in the Digital Multimedia Design program. Through your course work, you can enhance your ability to use creative thinking and critical reasoning to organize ideas and present them in a range of visual forms, scenarios, and narrative projects.

As a graduate of the program, you can use your skills to create, execute, and evaluate communication strategies — making you a valuable asset for businesses, corporations, government, and nonprofit organizations. Career options may include working as a digital designer in brand, motion, and user experience, or as a web developer, art director, public relations specialist, advertising manager, or media relations professional.
