You can have an independent major at Bryn Mawr–which means you create your own course of study. This can include courses from the other colleges in the tri-college consortium. It requires a fair amount of time and effort–BMC has to approve your proposal. It isnt easy because you have to justify your choices. My D did this and after it was over thought it was a valuable exercise.

I checked out the MAS major on the website and it looks like it’s basically a joint major between art and computer science. You take some core courses in art, some core courses in computer science, and your major electives are made up of digital-related art classes and some computer science classes.

I think you could create that major anywhere that had enough digital art classes to support you taking about 3-5 digital art classes, as well as one or two courses in art history or film.
