The Integrated Design & Media (IDM) program combines artistic inquiry with research and technological practice to explore the social, cultural and ethical potentials of emerging media technologies. We focus on how to create new experiences and tell stories with these tools while asking questions about what is worth making and why. The IDM curriculum combines project-based learning with the study of historical, cultural, social, and philosophical aspects of design and media. We emphasize the development of skills applicable to a broad spectrum of media through individual and collaborative work. Guest lectures and conferences supplement our curriculum and maximize students’ personal contact with leaders in various sectors including the arts, advocacy, service, entertainment, and education. The program culminates in a final project that combines theory and practice to showcase students’ creative and technical abilities. This blend of theory and practice defines our program. It's what we mean by "integrated" — the powerful combination of emerging media and technology, creative mastery, and critical thinking. Our faculty include leading artists, designers, developers, and performers who passionately engage in professional work and research at the intersection of engineering and creative practice in emerging media and design.
