Our DMD degree program at UK offers a flexible and practical path to a creative career. The program links design to the broader visual arts. There is no other program quite like it. A broad-based liberal arts degree housed within the School of Art and Visual Studies, this technically and conceptually rigorous program engages art and design as concurrent creative practices. Students are engaged in the creative re-imagining of our shared future. The program encourages students to develop a broad spectrum of analogue and digital skills required by today鈥檚 creative economy.

Why Digital Media Design:

This is a place to bring your passion. To gain knowledge about how to turn your ideas into significant works of art and/or design. To expand your range of technical abilities. To discover the expressive power of different media, from the radically new art of simulation to the ancient art of ceramics. This is a place to find your own voice, to learn how to share your vision and how to work with the visions of others. To become a professional in your chosen area(s) of interest. Most of all, this is a place where students have the opportunity to be creative wherever their excitement takes them.

Major Requirements

Digital Media Design Foundations

Much like Art Studio Majors, Digital Media Design students must complete a set of foundational art courses to prepare them for higher level studies. This program consists in part of three studio courses, one each from three distinct media areas. Students also participate in a Freshman Exhibition (featuring work created in the two Freshman Foundation courses).

Studio Requirements

A minimum of nine art studio (A-S) courses at the 300-level or above, of which at least six are digital-based (print media, digital photography, graphic design, video, web-based art, 3D fabrication, and more).

Art History and Visual Culture

At least six hours of art history, visual studies, film history or theory must be taken at or above the 300-level from an approved list.
