The GAME School educates the next generation of learners, empowering you with technofluency --- its development, application and implications. In the Bachelor of Arts program in media arts and sciences with a concentration in design, you gain the technical skills to develop computational media, and the cultural skills to apply them meaningfully. You immerse yourself in hands-on projects; explore the intertwined evolution of culture, society and tech; and create computational media systems with sound, video, objects, space and immersive media. This fusion of arts, humanities and engineering foundations enables you not only to craft innovative digital media but also to think critically about how technology and society are coproductive. The program's overarching goal is to develop you to be a socially conscious global citizen who is ready to navigate and shape a more connected and creative digital world. The concentration program in design is offered in partnership with The Design School in the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts. The concentration enables you to specialize in hybrid (physical and digital) product and space design. You complement your knowledge of media arts and sciences with courses focused on understanding the core principles of design. Options from many design disciplines are offered, including graphic design, architecture and landscape architecture, interior design and industrial design.
