BGSU’s Digital Arts program is housed within a traditional School of Art, which provides students an exceptional opportunity to explore leading-edge tools for creating animation, digital imagery, and interactive experiences. Our courses investigate the theoretical, aesthetic, cultural, and technical aspects of digital media. Core classes are designed to give students a strong foundation in animation, digital imaging, character design, visual storytelling, creative code, and 3D modeling.
Digital Arts students can choose to specialize in one area of Digital Arts or explore a variety of digital media, emphasizing an integration of media elements. The result is a degree that prepares you for the rapidly changing technical and creative markets of contemporary digital culture. Many of our students go on to work in professions related to their area of specialization, such as animation, game art and design, visual effects, or interactive design.
