The Digital Imaging, Visualization, Animation and Sound [DIVAS] is looking for self motivated, independent students who desire to explore media and technology oriented production and theory at the blurred boundaries of video, electronic music, visual art, web based art, robotics, and programming. The program provides a structure in which students engage with the profound changes taking place in our culture due to advances and proliferation of digital technologies. Students develop core concentrations from an array of courses categorized as 2D, 3D, 4D, Programming and Theory+Context. Students complete two independent/self-defined projects; a three credit junior project and a capstone six credit senior project. The Digital Imaging, Visualization, Animation and Sound [DIVAS] track is a collaboration between the Departments of Visual Art, Film and Music. Associated programs include the programs in Film Studies and Digita Arts and Culture in the College of Letters and Sciences and programs in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Students are encouraged to combine the DIVAS degree with the Digital Arts and Culture (DAC) Certificate Program. The certificate adds additional depth in the study of the history, cultural context and impact of digital technology.
