Digital Media

Description

Careers

Opportunities in digital media technology are continually growing. Jobs that currently use digital media technology include technical writer, Web page designer, computer graphics designer, librarian, news reporter, art director, animation effects programmer, electronic sound effects producer, computer game developer, photographer, educational technologist and videographer. Many people in these fields are self-employed consultants and entrepreneurs, while others work for a wide range of businesses and industries.

Academics

Many degree programs provide the opportunity to study visual communications with computer graphics or to study computer programming, but few offer the opportunity to study both of these areas. That is what makes K-State Salina’s digital media option unique. For example, digital media students who combine an interest in designing computer graphics with an interest in computer programming will propel themselves into an elite segment of the workforce. There are not enough people who understand both visual design and computer programming to keep up with market demand. Those who master both skill sets can find themselves working in cutting-edge industries, including entertainment, education, sales and new media companies.
