Associate of Occupational Studies (AOS) in Digital Design
and Interactive Media
The Digital Design and Interactive Media program combines courses in traditional design such as typography, drawing, and comprehensive communication design with many specific computer classes ranging from basic to sophisticated. These courses prepare the student to enter the computer graphics and interactive media markets -- advertising, print media, website and CD-ROM production, animation, and other technology-oriented fields, presently burgeoning in the New York economy.
The program provides the training necessary to succeed in today's highly competitive marketplace and addresses the growing need for adult re-education that incorporates traditional art theory with modern computer graphics technology.
The objectives of the Digital Design and Interactive Media program are:
1. To provide a solid digital design curriculum and an internship program.
2. To provide a wide range of computer course offerings, beginning with the basic functions of the computer to the use of interactive/digital software.
3. To emphasize the importance of a marketable portfolio, displaying not only technological knowledge but the advanced design samples needed to effectively compete in both the computer graphic and design markets.
4. To encourage all digital design students to secure jobs in their field while in school so that they can obtain practical experience in the use of various computer programs and be prepared for the job opportunities which await them upon graduation.
