New Major and Certificate in Digital Arts

St. Thomas University is offering two new programs: a Major in Digital Media and Creative Arts and a Certificate in Digital and Media Literacy.

The Digital Media and Creative Arts program explores the relationship between digital media, the arts, and society, and involves the examination of digital media and the creation of digital arts. Students will have hands-on learning opportunities including internships, access to video, audio, and editing equipment.

“This major is for students who are contemplating a career in the digital creative industries, ranging from mobile journalism, podcasting and video game design to digital music production and multimedia installations and performances,” said Dr. André Loiselle, Dean of Humanities.

The new Certificate in Digital and Media Literacy combines courses in digital and media literacy with workshops and experiential learning to give students the opportunity to gain knowledge and apply conceptual understanding in real-world settings. •
