Digital Arts B.F.A.
Bachelor of Fine Arts in Digital Arts
Undergraduate Digital Arts students in Pratt's Digital Arts program develop their artistic sensibilities through the study of the theory, practice, and history of new media.Working closely with highly accomplished faculty, students apply contemporary practices in the fine arts and creative industries to the production of digital animation, motion arts, and interactive artworks. Students are expected to integrate their required studies in the liberal arts and sciences into the development of substantive artworks. Bachelors emerge prepared for graduate study or professional work and are poised to make meaningful and culturally responsible contributions in the digital arts.
Undergraduates study in one of two Digital Arts Concentrations:
