DIGITAL MEDIA ARTS
The two-year Associate Degree Program in Digital Media Arts teaches both technical “hands-on” skills and media theory. Students emerge from the program with the skills necessary to understand the trends of the media industry and produce their own original content. This program focuses on teaching industry-standard skills and developing an entrepreneurial mindset. Students graduate from the program with a capstone project in their reel and with a solid introduction of what it takes to launch a media career. The program is dynamic, practical, and fun. This degree articulates with the Bachelor of Arts and BFA degrees in Film and Digital Media Arts at UNM Main campus.
HUMANITIES
Humanities are academic disciplines where you will explore how individuals and diverse societies, past and present, make meaning and assign value. You will learn how histories, cultural works, languages, and ideas shape diverse communities and the relations between them. You will discover and design ways of understanding diverse human experiences, including conflict and inequality, by examining cultural records. Humanities help one to understand and relate to the increasingly global world in a positive and constructive manner. Humanities disciplines at UNMTaos include American Studies, Classical Studies, Communication, Comparative Literature, English, First Year Experience, History, Native American Studies, Philosophy, Religious Studies, and second languages.
