College of Mount St. Joseph offering new interactive media major

To better prepare students for a digital future, the College of Mount St. Joseph will offer a new major in Interactive Media Design & Computing for the 2009-2010 academic year.Combining art, computing and communication, the cirriculum will offer hands-on experience with industry-standard software for designing and editing both audio and visual media.Using skills gained in the program, students will be prepared for careers in web design and development, multimedia information editing and management, educational multimedia, game design, and e-commerce.”It is my hope that this program will bridge the gap between the designer and the programmer by developing a single highly-skilled individual who has skills in both areas,” says Dennis Gibson, M.S., professor of computer science and program director.Read the full release here.
