Digital Communication Major

Digital media is rapidly changing the tools and means of communication in this Digital Age. Computers, Internet, and the mass storage devices have introduced an entirely new communication media which has greatly impacted the entire communication community. Terra's DMT Digital Communication major brings the study of all media--visual textual, and audio--into convergence with the course and includes the study of digital photography, web-site design, graphic design, communication, and computer-based media.

Students will be required to have a sophisticated level of computer skills which may be achieved by taking a minimum of CIS 109, completing the Microsoft Office User Specialist Program, or demonstrating computer usage proficiency.

Students will gain experience with the latest tools, learn new perspectives on the creative process, gain understanding of the process, design, and impacts of the new media, while experimenting in new genres.

With the skills gained in this program, graduates can find work in numerous environments. The career opportunities include interactive writers, interface designers, creative directors, graphic designers, programmers, project managers or producers.
