Creative Computational Media Certificate
Under the umbrella of the Academy for Creative Media System, the Information and Computer Sciences department (ICS) offers a Bachelor’s of Arts and Bachelor’s of Science in Creative Computation Media (CCM).
The program provides students and industry professionals with training centered on the application of computing in immersive media job markets, such as video game and eSports design and development, digital film production and special effects, new media theater and dance performance, interactive digital media installation development, and exhibit design for museums, theme parks, or marketing/advertising.
