Additional admissions criteria for the 2 and 3 year programs. Upon acceptance into the program, the program director will determine which track best fits the particular students' background and skill level.
2-Year Program
An undergraduate degree in design is highly recommended for this program. Applicants must demonstrate a high degree of technical proficiency in interactive design as well as an ability to conceptualize and produce at a sophisticated level of communication. The background for this skill set could come from significant professional experience and/or previous study. An online interactive design portfolio is necessary, two letters of recommendation, transcripts, resume, along with a letter of intent, specifying the student’s goals for the period of study.
3-Year Program
Applicants must demonstrate an understanding of and aptitude for design or the visual arts, either through professional experience and/or previous study. A portfolio demonstrating the candidate’s creativity is required. This portfolio can be in the form of a CD and does not have to be online. Also required are two letters of recommendation, transcripts, resume, along with a letter of intent specifying the student’s goals for the period of study. The initial courses in this track provide an appropriate foundation for students who have a background in the visual disciplines but need additional design or interactive experience before they start two years of immersive graduate coursework. In some cases students from other disciplines who demonstrate a particular aptitude for design may be accepted into the program.
