DIGITAL ARTS and DESIGN

MS.AUD

The Digital Art and Design Department is excited to be included in the No 6 ATMO magazine, a publication showcasing outstanding student work.

DA&D strives to implement pedagogical methodologies and infuse them with emerging technologies; VR, AR, MR, Voice, IxD, Game Design, Animation, VFX, Graphic Design, and more to form the future. Here, we enable creativity and discovery and help students become visual artists, communication designers, storytellers, and entrepreneurs.

Through curricular innovation, cutting-edge technologies, and under the guidance of accomplished faculty, students explore new territories, rise above disciplinary boundaries and become the thinkers and makers of the next generations.

With programs in graphic design, digital arts, design and technology, and UX/UI design and development, we prepare our students for a wide variety of careers, merging academia with the professional world, fostering imagination and curiosity, and providing them with unprecedented opportunities to shape our world. All our programs offer capstone or thesis courses that synthesize all skills and competencies students obtained during their studies.

We continue to rise to the occasion and deliver solid education and experiences to our students despite the challenges and emotionally charged environment. We worked hard to continue giving workshops, researching and participating in community outreach and engagement initiatives. Some of the last year highlights include: Game Design Club, Summer Academy for Middle School students, Game Design workshops for Community College students in the tri-state area, International UX/UI Design Sprint workshop with École Intuit Lab in Mumbai, AR workshop at French Institute Alliance Française, Workshops in AR and VR for the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum’s Girl’s Science & Engineering Day Animation Festival, and a lot more.

Since joining the School of Architecture and Design, in Fall 2021 and emerging from the difficult times that have restricted us over the past years, we are moving ahead with optimism and looking forward to a cross-pollination of ideas, knowledge, and experiences between all departments.
