Our Media Arts program at SUNY Fredonia focuses on teaching students to use current and emerging tools and technology to create works out of expressive feelings and ideas. Semesters revolve around courses covering an intense variety of the things that interest you. For example, if you spend your morning class exploring the exciting possibilities of photography in the media, you might use your afternoon to examine painting techniques, or even computer arts.
Basically, students in this program cover all of the bases. They are challenged to appreciate, analyze, and create works in every media form: video, drawing, photography, audio, interactive media, design, and digital painting. Classes cover everything you will need to know, from multiple approaches to subject matter and basic and advanced computer software applications to state-of-the-art technology, criticism in historical and cultural contexts, and theory. As students advance in their development of critical, imaginative, and creative thinking, they can consider trying out their skills in real-life situations. Our junior and senior level internship program allows students to get a head start on their careers with the help of both commercial and public sector clients.
