BS in Electronic Arts

The BS degree in Electronic Arts provides a foundation for students who aspire to careers as practicing artists in the Digital Age. Combining traditional studio and theory courses in the Fine Arts with Electronic Arts disciplines, the program familiarizes students with the full range of creative digital media and allows them to select areas of concentration in such fields as video, animation and visualization, computer music and sound design, multimedia, installation, interactivity, performance art, and net-based art. The degree is designed for students who aspire to be artists and are also strong in math, science, and technology. Situated within the context of a technological university, Rensselaer’s art program offers a unique creative environment in which to explore the relationship between the creative arts and emerging technologies.
