Areas of study in the department may include undergraduate or graduate courses in the following areas: Interactivity & Games, Video & Animation, and Visual Communication & Image, Drawing & Color, Form, Motion, Typography, Word & Image, 3D Modeling & Animation, Game Engine.\n \nBA required; MFA preferred; relevant professional experience. \n \nAbout our undergraduate program:\n \nThe Design Media Arts undergraduate program emphasizes innovative creation with digital and mass media within the context of a public research university. The curriculum features a solid foundation in form, color & drawing, motion, typography, and interactivity, followed by a broad selection of area studies courses in video, visual communication, network media, game design, and narrative. The program culminates with the senior projects classes where each student defines his/her own senior project based on individual interests within the areas of interactivity and games, video and animation, and visual communication and image. This uniquely challenging and diverse program invites students to balance aesthetic sensibility with logical reasoning, formal theories with practical application, and contemporary thought with historical perspective. Most courses are taught as studios of no more than 22 students, which encourage individual growth and fosters a sense of community within the department.\n \nRather than focusing on narrow professional development, our curriculum fosters experimentation across a range of different media. We privilege a social outlook, process, experimentation, and personal growth over conservatism and commercialism and we search for students who share the same goals. We strive to provide a broad education that encourages young people to make new connections, to analyze complex situations, and to think critically.\n \nFor more information about our undergraduate program and our students' broad, innovative, and diverse areas of study, please visit the DMA website.\n \nFor information about the Department of Design Media Arts, please visit the DMA website.\n \nThe School of the Arts and Architecture is committed to building a more diverse faculty, staff, and student body in response to the changing population and educational needs of the City of Los Angeles, State of California, and the nation.
