Interactive Media Bootcamp
Gain the Skills To Succeed
The Interactive Media program begins with a two-week bootcamp designed to teach principles, tools, and technologies needed for success in the program.
Signature Experiences
A Transformative Academic Approach
While the Interactive Media program is distinctive in many ways – from its intensive, accelerated timeline to the close, personalized professional mentoring it provides – three experiences stand out. The program’s signature experiences include the technical bootcamp (ensuring each student has the skills to succeed, regardless of their academic background), a professional study away project for the public good (where small teams develop their professional skills by completing an interactive media project for an authentic client), and a capstone project (a significant interactive project designed and produced by each student). Supported by these transformative experiences, students develop a rich portfolio and deep professional knowledge before they even graduate.
Study Away
Become a World-Changer
All interactive media students take the Project for the Public Good course in January, which includes a study away experience. Working in small teams, students use new design and production skills to support a non-profit organization.
Capstone
Dive Into a Selected Area of Inquiry
Spend spring semester working on a student-designed, faculty-mentored project that provides an opportunity to showcase understanding of interaction design, user research, project management and media production.
