Communicating their messages and brand through digital content is a top objective for most public, private, and nonprofit organizations. The new design media arts degree at The College of Saint Rose will prepare students for this growing interdisciplinary field by combining art, communications, and graphic and digital design. Saint Rose will enroll its first design media arts students in Fall 2019.

The new Bachelor of Science in Design Media Arts joins the expertise of the Center for Art & Design and the Department of Communications at Saint Rose. Students will have access to faculty’s industry knowledge and the College’s state-of-the-art studios and galleries. In addition to first-year students, the degree program is also ideal for transfer students who studied digital media, media arts, graphic communication, or related programs at their previous institutions.
