The Bachelor of Fine Arts, Major in Expanded Media program offers students the opportunity to explore interdisciplinary practices, collaboration and research, and conceptual and social issues in a range of media arts, including film, video, installation, performance, audio art, digital media, electronics, animation and photography. Hybrid approaches to media arts will enable students to draw on their individual skills, whether they extend across fine art, design, craft or critical studies. With a studio focus, the program is driven by curiosity, exploration, interdisciplinary, and conceptual development.

In addition to their chosen area of study, students will have the opportunity to take Interdisciplinary Fine and Media Arts courses that explore a diverse range of visual arts concerns from an interdisciplinary approach. At the senior level, these courses also provide you with opportunities for internship placement in galleries, museums, and artist run centers.

What does the faculty say about the Expanded Media program?

"The Major allows for students to investigate creative works informed by interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary art practices and while also investigating Avant Grade traditions in new and emerging technologies. The program places students in parallel with film and photography streams while also allowing them to explore video, sound, installation, net art, performance, virtual reality, creative electronics, physical computing, animation, printed matter, and modes of contemporary art that are hard to categorize. The program prepares students to participate in the contemporary art world and also provides experiences that can be applied to creative work in technology and other work that requires an understanding of how digital culture works and evolves."
