Schools with majors similar to Penn's DMD track

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hello, my sister is in the middle of her college search and is curious to find schools that have majors that are similar to Penn's Digital Media and Design major. (For reference: CG@Penn</a> | DMD Program). The major essentially combines elements from computer science, fine arts and design, and mathematics to create a program that adds numerous artistic elements on top of a standard computer science degree.</p>

<p>I was wondering if any other schools had a major similar to this (not looking for graphic design, but something that integrates graphic design and CS). Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>At first I thought you were asking about Penn’s dental school!</p>

<p>Check out Carnegie Mellon, where they have a lot of interesting integrated programs.</p>

<p>Yes everyone thinks that when I mention DMD :). </p>

<p>Unfortunately CMU is a bit of a reach for her, are there any less selective schools with a similar program?</p>

<p>That’s a really unique program from what I gather because of its basis in engineering. The University of the Arts (in Center City Philadelphia) has some neat programs, including this one: [Web</a> Development & Interaction Design | The University of the Arts](<a href=“http://www.uarts.edu/academics/design/web-development-interaction-design]Web”>http://www.uarts.edu/academics/design/web-development-interaction-design)</p>

<p>Not sure if you’re PA residents, but Penn State has some cool programs too:

<p>I’ll give it some more thought, but since you’re a Penn student yourself, you might want to contact the head of their department for advice. I would imagine they know of other good programs.</p>

<p>You might also want to try reposting your question but spell out the full name of the major to see if you get a better response. I can’t imagine there aren’t similar programs out there even though they might have different names. Sounds like an awesome program.</p>
