The Digital Media Program at ETSU offers you a B.S. degree in Digital Media and a M.S. degree in Technology with a concentration in Digital Media. The 4-year undergraduate program provides you with 3 concentrations in Digital Animation, Digital Visualization and Digital Interaction which encompass a broad range of courses in animation, 3D modeling and visualization, interactive media development, visual effects, digital video editing, and computer illustration. The graduate program offers opportunities to strengthen technical skills in advanced-level production courses while pursuing individual research in digital media technology and practice.

In the program, you will have not only developed specialized technical skills in animation, 3D visualization, and/or interactive media design, but also have gained a solid foundation in art and design, as well. You will receive a strong foundation in the principles that work in all design: visual problem solving, aesthetics, and training in traditional and computer mediums. You also will have the opportunity to take classes across the spectrum of digital media, or take an emphasis in a particular specialty. There is a range of specialized animation, 3D visualization, and interactive media courses available to undergrads such as character animation, 3D effects animation, technical direction, video compositing, and product design and interactive design. You will have the opportunity to work in advanced production courses, and in courses providing experience on projects for “real-world” clients.

The Digital Media Program will prepare you for a variety of careers in the rapidly growing digital media industry: animation for cinema, broadcast and interactive media; special and visual effects; game design; web design and development; interactive entertainment and education; digital video editing; computer illustration; product design; architectural rendering; and scientific visualization.
