Become a creative and strategic thinker

The MS in Interactive Media and Communications prepares you to design, produce and manage a range of content and to become a strong creative thinker and a leader in visual design and storytelling.

You’ll learn principles of human-centered design to better understand and connect with a wide range of audiences and apply design strategies to solve creative, technical and business-related challenges. Moreover, you’ll be able to craft highly effective and ethical cross-media communication strategies. 

The program provides deep exploration into all aspects of media, including web design and production; social media analytics; digital audio, video and graphics; and UX and UI. A flexible elective structure allows you to customize your degree to coincide with your career goals.

Regardless of your specialty, the completion of a practice-based capstone will be central to your experience. This capstone is not a singular project, but a robust, web-based portfolio generated over time that will showcase accumulated work and the depth of your skill set.

Your evolving portfolio is influenced by every course and experience and something you'll be confident to show employers in a variety of fields from marketing, public relations and advertising to journalism, publishing, entertainment and health care.
