As a digital media arts major, your own creativity and
artistic expression will be explored and emphasized. You can choose from
three focused tracks, including “DV Cinema” (Film Studies), Computer
Animation and Digital Interactive Authoring (DVD, CD, WEB). A high-tech
digital classroom with several digital media workstations will be at your
fingertips to assist with the key skills necessary for your educational
development. These workstations will be used for animation, digital cinema
and multi-media classes. In addition to classroom experiences, you’ll have
opportunities to attend an annual DV Cinema/Digital Media Arts festival and,
if you choose, spend a semester at the CCCU’s Los Angeles Film Studies
Center.
Your courses will provide a sound and ethical base for
a career in the digital media industry. Our professors are Christian
scholars who excel in each area of the communication field. They will help
you gain the skills and the judgment needed for success in this rapidly
growing and culture-shaping industry.
The Digital Media Arts degree is one of several programs available from
Huntington University's Department of Communication. Huntington offers a solid
professional major designed to provide a foundation for careers in mass
communication. Our students may concentrate in Radio and TV Broadcasting,
Journalism, Public Relations, Digital Film Studies, or Digital Media Arts.
The Department also encompasses Huntington College’s outstanding program in
Theatre Arts and a growing program in Communication Studies.
The Department
places a strong emphasis on the integration of faith and learning. Theories
of communication systems – including the purposes of mass communication and
the effects of mass media – are intensely covered in the classroom. Students
are asked to explore issues in ethics and Christian values in mass
communication.
As a student at Huntington, you will
combine classroom study, studio work and production experience to gain a
balanced education. You’ll have many opportunities to get hands-on
experience in a variety of fields through our local cable TV news show, nationally distributed AngelOne satellite program, “The Vision,” radio station, and campus
newspaper.
