Programs In Digital Media/Interactive Communications/Interactive Design

<p>I was wondering if anyone knew of programs in digital media in Digital Media/Interactive Communications/Interactive Design that do not require a studio arts background and give out a reasonable amount of assistanceships or aid. I am a MIS undergraduate but have a good digital media portfolio and alot of experience working in digital media and webdesign.</p>

<p>I am probably looking at mid level program due to my gpa 3.65 cum (but a 3.9 junior year) and I will probably end up around 80 percentile for the GRE's. </p>

<p>I have found the top programs such as Carnegie Mellon and NYU in this field do not really offer much financial assistance and expect alot of work experience. I am also contemplating the multimedia dpt. of some art schools for an MFA, but am woried due to my lack of formal art training that they will turn me away.</p>

<p>So far I have found:
MSU - <a href="http://dmat.msu.edu/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://dmat.msu.edu/&lt;/a>
Indiana U - <a href="http://www.informatics.indiana.edu/academics/hcid.asp%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.informatics.indiana.edu/academics/hcid.asp&lt;/a>
Ball State - <a href="https://www.bsu.edu/cim/storytelling/%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://www.bsu.edu/cim/storytelling/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>All three of these programs look cool to me, but I was curious if you guys knew of any programs or had any suggestions? </p>

<p>thanks,
Dave</p>

<p>Have you considered the programs at the Media Lab at MIT?</p>
