Digital Media Practices Coordinate

Tulane's Digital Media Practices Program offers a coordinate major focused on the art and practice of digital storytelling. Courses in the program offer hands-on experience in Narrative and Documentary Filmmaking, Interactive Media, Game Studies, Emergent Journalism, Podcasting, and Digital Sound. After completing introductory coursework, students choose an area of specialization leading to a 2-semester Capstone Project. Many students choose to write, produce, and direct their own short films. However, our program also encourages our students to think creatively about their capstone projects, whether these projects are documentary short films, full-length screenplays, multi-episode podcasts, radio dramas, interactive media exhibitions, experimental video games, web-based projects, or a combination of all these elements.  The Digital Media Practices Program gives students the opportunity to work closely with experienced and supportive faculty interested in allowing students' passion and vision to help to define their goals.

The Coordinate Major in Digital Media Practices first requires students to declare a major in another discipline before declaring the DMPC coordinate major. The program is an interdisciplinary, 30 credit major that can include courses from the Music, Theatre and Dance, Communication, Art, English, Computer Science Departments, and the Film Studies Program. 

If you’re working toward a bachelor’s degree, your first stop is our admission office. Last year, more than 150 international students pursued undergraduate degrees at Tulane. Let our counselors help you with entry requirements, academics, living in New Orleans, tuition, and more. (Don’t rule us out based on cost: We offer up to $23,000 in need-based financial aid to international students who qualify and who have not already been awarded that amount or more in merit scholarships.)
