THE CREATIVE MEDIA & DIGITAL CULTURE PROGRAM
The Creative Media & Digital Culture Program (CMDC) is an academic program, unique to Washington State University Vancouver, that houses the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in Digital Technology and Culture.
The goal of the CMDC Program is to offer a broad-based intellectual experience that prepares students for the culturally diverse, technologically complex 21st Century. Anchored within the field of digital media with emphasis on the intersection of art, technology, and the humanities, the CMDC Program features a strong interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary focus across the College of Liberal Arts, serving as a nexus for collaborations with The Edward R. Murrow College of Communication, the College of Business, and the School of Engineering and Computer Science. The Program emphasizes "undergraduate research" expressed through creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving and aims to educate the next generation of digital media leaders and entrepreneurs. In addition to classroom theory and hands-on practice, The Senior Seminar provides students with real world experience that both helps students to jumpstart their careers and develop a commitment to public service.
Our students have been honored for their vision, research skills, and their dedication to excellence: Five student projects were recently awarded an "Honorable Mention" at the International Digital Media & Arts Association Student Showcase, held in Vancouver, Canada; students have also won the 2009, 2010, and 2011 "Undergraduate Research Award" at Research Showcase, hosted by WSUV.
