Interactive Digital Media
The field of web development has expanded beyond a simple online presence to fully dynamic experiences; from solely mouse-based interfaces, to touch, gestural and beyond. The Interactive Digital Media major prepares students for positions in an ever-changing field that requires an understanding of both the aesthetics of visual design for user interfaces as well as the technical knowledge to program both the font- and back-end system that bring the content to life. Students hone and apply their strategic and creative skills to all aspects of the field. At Drexel, our methodology coincides with the direction of the industry, where web developers are often in charge of design, development and the implementation of online content.
The internetÂ’s explosive rise as the dominant communications medium has been accompanied by an ever-increasing level of sophistication in the content and applications used by individuals and businesses. To best prepare themselves for careers in these cutting-edge disciplines, students pursue a foundation of design and technology, take core courses in all aspects of digital media, complete a six month co-op, and delve into rigorous coursework in many areas of specialization. Within their coursework, students develop engaging modern web sites, create web based and native applications for mobile devices, explore content management systems, build rich Internet applications, harness server technologies that drive aesthetic content, and experiment with emerging technologies.
