Curriculum - Integrated Digital Media, BS

To graduate from the Bachelor of Science in Integrated Digital Media program, you need to complete 120 credits distributed among the required and elective courses listed below.

All Digital Media (DM) courses are offered as Studio Seminars in which you will be expected to produce finished projects of professional quality under the guidance of active digital media practitioners who are informed by a powerful understanding of the creative and critical context of their work. While NYU-Poly provides top-quality equipment and facilities, you will be expected to obtain and maintain your own laptop computer (consult the department for current specifications) as well as basic peripherals and consumables.

In general, digital-media production calls for teamwork and a willingness to produce innovative, high-quality work. At NYU-Poly, “excellent” equals “acceptable."
