Arts/Design and Technology Programs?

College Search & Selection

<p>Any schools that have interdisciplinary arts/design and technology programs? I'm not very accomplished in the arts (through awards or anything), but I have a passion and have some pieces that I could submit. I do have accomplishments in technology. I have a 3.87 UW GPA with 12 weighted classes, 2300+ SAT, 750+ on two subject tests, 5's on all the AP tests I have taken so far (four of them).</p>

<p>Tufts has an interdisciplinary minor in Multimedia arts offered through the Experimental College and sponsored by the engineering and fine arts departments. </p>

<p>Tufts also has a partnership with the School of The Museum of Fine Arts which offers design classes either on campus or at the Museum School. </p>

<p>The Experimental College also offers a suite of courses that changes each semester and includes some related courses.</p>

<p>Brown and RISD</p>

<p>CMU’s BCSA program is one of the best.

<p>WUSTL has a great program that they call “interaction design.”

<p>Stanford also has a joint engineering and design program that is tech focused.</p>

<p>Design programs both at art schools and in art departments of universities and colleges are undergoing a seachange right now as tech becomes an increasingly important part of what design is all about. (Or I could say as design becomes an increasingly important part of what tech is all about.) As you research individual colleges I sure you’ll find programs and courses that are moving in the “more-tech” direction.</p>

<p>Thank you for all the suggestions! I already knew about CMU and Brown, but I was looking for some match schools with full on interdisciplinary major programs (if there are any).</p>
