Ideas become reality in the Multimedia Department. Students learn the theory and practice of how a single premise is developed into a creative concept and practically applied across multiple mediums: the Internet, graphic design, digital cinema, immersive experiences, animation and digital games. We create a supportive and engaging environment where storytelling and commerce, art and computer science, cultural analysis and animation, students and faculty collaborate to produce exciting new works in dynamic media. California Lutheran University’s Core-21 grounds the student in the liberal arts. The multimedia core courses and classes drawn from the entire University curriculum enhance that foundation. These include classes in art, theater, music, communication, business, computer science and education. The multimedia major leads to a bachelor of arts degree in one of these concentrated areas: Internet; Graphic Design for Multimedia; Digital Cinema for Multimedia; Digital Games; Visual Effects; 3D Animation. Each student acquires a fundamental creative, technical and administrative competency across these disciplines. They invent and develop ideas into concepts, characters and stories. They acquire cross platform computer skills and in depth knowledge of software applications. They also learn essential interpersonal skills and a collaborative attitude to function well in a professional, team oriented business environment. Moving beyond media literacy, our students understand the theories and processes behind media production and learn the tools and techniques to create and develop entire media franchises. Fulfilling the university mission of cultivating creative global citizens, they have the potential to become the next generation of global entrepreneurs: inventive, passionate, ethical and a stimulating force for good in the world. This program allows students to experience success by achieving excellence. This is sound preparation for careers in a broad range of media fields including: animation; concept design; computer games; creative development; digital cinema; directing; e-commerce, gaming; high definition (HD) and interactive television production; project management; Web development; visual effects. The degree also serves as a springboard for advanced degrees in their fields.
