Digital Media Design

The Digital Media Design major is one of the most creative programs at Muskingum University, ultimately reaching out to various disciplines across the academic program.  It provides students with an experience that draws upon the best of a wide range of academic subjects and skills, such as art, business, electronic and print communications, music, theatre, and even the social sciences--each with deep traditions and well-established modes of inquiry and problem-solving.  In so doing, the major will prepare students well for a world that is increasingly and ineluctably focused on interaction, integration, and cooperation in the realms of commerce, culture, and professional life.
