Digital Media Arts Majors & Minors
“One of my biggest passions in life is creating works of art. Constantly, I use my creativity, and I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember! Graphic design is a great way for me to apply that love of art into a career in the future.”
To truly breathe life into digital media arts, you need to experience what you are studying in an up-close and personal way. That’s why practical learning is built into our curriculum.
Located in a state-of-the-art facility in northeast Indiana and utilizing top-of-the-line equipment, HU’s program trains students to tell stories. Through a studio environment, students work closely under the mentorship of award-winning faculty, learn industry standard equipment, and explore both the craft and art of their chosen field.
