How To Enroll
To enroll in the Interactive Media and Design major/minor, the Games and Simulation major/minor, or the Digital Marketing minor, requirements exist beyond the Miami application for admission. See the information below for details.
EXCEPTION: A prospective first-year student admitted to Miami University may declare the Interactive Media and Design major without a separate application. A minor can be declared only after the start of classes.
Incoming Students
A high school student admitted to Miami University does not need to complete a separate application for the Interactive Media and Design major. However, a student must formally declare to add classes or meet with an ETBD advisor. Students transferring to Miami from other collegiate programs must complete the separate ETBD application.
A new student can declare a minor only after the start of classes.
Current Miami Students
A current Miami student may apply to the Interactive Media and Design major or minor if they hold a GPA of 3.0 or better. (There is no GPA requirement for a student in their first semester, since no GPA has been established.)
