The Department of Emerging Technology in Business + Design features two majors and four minors for our undergraduates.
Two concentrations are offered to students pursuing a B.A. in Interactive Media and Design.
The Digital Concentration is for students who are interested in careers / post-graduate paths where they position themselves as a digital expert.
The Applied Concentration is for students who have a second major and wish to position themselves as experts in applying digital technology to that field.
The B.S. in Games and Simulation prepares students for a career in game design, development, 3D modeling, creative development, writing or designing, esports, and games in other industries.
The Digital Innovation Minor introduces the digital innovation ecosystem in various cities and provides students with opportunities to develop and expand their own professional interests and skills in relevant fields such as web/app development, marketing, and design.
This minor encompasses all the digital marketing courses offered by Emerging Technology in Business and Design. It builds from theoretical foundations through advanced tactics that are requisite for any practicing digital marketer.
The Games and Simulation Minor includes a collaborative series of courses between the Department of Emerging Technology in Business and Design and the Art and Computer Science departments. The minor introduces the foundations of game design and implementation, beginning with required coursework in the three developmental areas: game art, game design, and game development.
The Interactive Media and Design minor is centered on a foundation of courses in Business, Technology, and Design. Students develop an awareness and appreciation of all three of these areas and then choose a specialization within Interactive Media and Design for two elective courses. The Interactive Media and Design minor is designed to help provide digital literacy for students who are curious about how emerging media and technology impact their major.
