Curriculum in New Media

www.art.uiuc.edu

For the Degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts in New Media

The curriculum in New Media requires 122 credit hours. Students are trained in the production and critique of works for art or design that explore forms and technologies identified as new or emerging. Students receive instruction in technical execution, formal composition, theoretical framing, and in the process of generating a body of work around a subject and form of their choice. Junior and Senior years see students working on individually-guided projects, and work with critics across the School to develop a portfolio of works in time-based, interactive, physical networked or performative media.
