York University Faculty of Fine Arts

If you enjoy creating things that serve to entertain people, especially in technologically and artistically innovative ways, don’t think that you are alone. There are many well-established universities where you will find the curriculum and support you need to combine creativity and technology.

York University is one such university. The Faculty of Fine Arts’ Specialized Honors BA Program in Digital Media is an innovative interdisciplinary and cross-faculty program that engages contemporary digital culture from both arts and science perspectives.

Students in this four-year program develop a deep knowledge of digital media in tandem with practical skills through an interdisciplinary curriculum that transcends the boundaries of computer science, fine arts, cultural and communication studies and social science.

Students in the Digital Media Program come from either the Faculty of Fine Arts or the Faculty of Science and Engineering.

If a particular student’s strength or background aligns better with the computational aspect of digital media, which includes animation, motion design, 3D imaging, and so on, he or she may find a course in designing interactive objects or building interactive systems – the perfect place to put into practice his or her programming, software, and other computer skills.

On the other hand, if a particular student’s area of interest leans towards dance, music, theatre, or film, he or she may learn intriguing ways of altering and enhancing audiences’ experiences with fine arts, by taking a course in the electronic landscape or interactive performance and installation.

Students can enroll in the Digital Media program either through the Faculty of Fine Arts or the Faculty of Science and Engineering. All Digital Media majors take a common set of required courses, but may choose their electives from the area – eg. Fine Arts or Computing Science – that best aligns with their interests.

I really, really love software. I have been a proud geek since the age of 14 when I used to fiddle around with my parents computer instead of going outside.
