Minor in Intermedia Theory and Practice

Program Director: Debora Hunter, Associate Professor of Art

The minor in intermedia theory and practice offers students an opportunity to maximize their creative potential in the current Inter-media environment, focusing on media production techniques such as photography, video, music, digital media, and creative computation. Based on a theoretical foundation, students customize their course of study to obtain division-specific production skills across a minimum of three disciplines to create Inter-media artworks. Students bring their theoretical and practical knowledge together by working on an inter-media portfolio project at the culmination of the minor. Students who complete the minor will know how to pursue and even generate new opportunities in the current inter-media environment. 

Except for MSA 4320, which must come last, courses may be taken in any order. A minimum grade of C- is required in the portfolio project class.
