Students seeking admission are expected to have an undergraduate background including:
- A degree in one of the fine arts or liberal arts
- A body of work that demonstrates accomplishment in the intended area
- A body of work that can clearly be enhanced with skills to be acquired in the DAS program.
Deficiencies may be corrected before beginning graduate study. In addition to appropriate academic credentials and prior scholastic achievement, admission into the program requires a well-constructed Statement of Purpose and media-related support material (i.e. samples of design, programming, video, web, writing, etc.) that demonstrates both prior interest and/or achievement in New Media/Digital Arts & Sciences.
