About

Overview The first and foremost responsibility of the B.F.A. in Digital Arts & Design program at the Long Island University (LIU) program is to pass on the knowledge, as well as nurture the technical and creative skills, that are required for graduates to secure jobs as designers. Courses cover a range of areas including desktop publishing, vector-based illustration, digital imaging, web design, and interactive multimedia, as well as 3D animation and desktop video. Students begin by learning the fundamentals of art history, drawing and illustration and then apply these long-established principles to the evolving world of graphic design. With an established plan of study that allows students to explore a range of design software and media, students are also introduced to the different paths they can pursue within the design field. Some of our students go into advertising, others to interactive web design or publishing. As students move through the program they begin to develop interests that determine which area of design they will pursue. The program includes a mandatory internship course that requires students to complete a graphic design internship before they graduate. CareerThis internship program helps to demystify the work experience and gives students an understanding of what it is like to actually work in an art department. Students in the B.F.A. in Digital Arts and Design Program have interned and gone on to work at such companies as SONY, NBC, Esquire Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Newsday, Time Warner and Hearst Publications. In their senior year students are required to create both traditional and interactive portfolios of their work, as well participate in a Senior Thesis Exhibition.
