Master of Art + Design (MAD) Track 3: 60-72 Credit Hours
Track 3 is geared towards students with a background in something other than interactive and experimental media arts. Once in the program, all Track 3 students will take 12 – 24 credit hours of advanced undergraduate coursework focused on technical, material, visual and conceptual development to improve skills, experiment, and gain confidence in the medium. The DGP will work directly with the student to define the scope of the advanced undergraduate work. Once these preliminary credits are completed, Track 03 students fold into the Track 01 or Track 02 cohort entering the program in the year they start their 500-level coursework.
