As a digital media studies major, you’ll develop technical skills in web development, multimedia and interactive design, game design, application design, electronic business and marketing, digital graphics and e-marketing.

Many other universities with schools for film, game design and other fields in digital media separate their creative and technical disciplines, so a student must choose one field or the other. Fields like video game design and interaction design require both technical and aesthetic skills. At Tarleton, we offer a variety of opportunities to develop both in the same undergraduate degree program.
