For those entering the program prior to Fall 2003 semester & beyond
Contact Person: Erin Glasheen
Description:
The Information Technology degree with an Arts concentration presents students with an exciting program of study that emphasizes the creativity of arts studio practice in shaping and influencing information technology.
The program extends the activities of the Integrated Electronic Arts program at Rensselaer (iEAR), an extensive, state-of-the-art facility dedicated to interdisciplinary research / artistic development in interactivity, digital video, computer imaging, digital audio, animation, virtual reality, web design, multi-media installation and performance.
Students will take a series of courses designed to give them hands-on experience with a full range of arts practice within our unique technological environment. Intermediate and advanced courses offer the student the opportunity to focus on an area of research specialization, and to develop innovative collaborative projects. Study in the Arts concentration will provide students with both theoretical foundation, and practical experience needed for careers in the many fast-growing fields related to digital arts and multi-media.
