About Creative Computing

Launching with the Fall 2011 semester, Creative Computing is a new, highly interdisciplinary major (with a minor also available) combining theory and methodology from computer science and engineering with aesthetic principles and creative practice from the arts. The program is rigorous in its interdisciplinary integration, requiring students to pursue core coursework in both the Lyle School of Engineering and Meadows School of the Arts.

The major in Creative Computing crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries bridging not only divisions and departments, but entire schools across the university; it does so in response to technological innovation, contemporary arts practices and demands of the global marketplace. An underlying principle at the philosophical core of the major is the integration of creative and analytical study and practice–championing an integrated "whole brain" approach.
