Academics
A class of your own
Academic programs at the College of Communication, Media, Design and Information will empower, inspire and challenge you to rethink what’s possible as you become a leader in a fast-changing information economy. Hands-on learning, an encouragement to explore, an invitation to innovate—these are the calling cards of a CMDI education.
You should think of your college education not as a means to getting your first job, but as an invaluable foundation upon which to build your career. At CMDI, we teach you to bring a future-focused perspective to problems by exploring the areas where our core disciplines come together. By thinking across boundaries, you will bring new insights to emerging problems and ensure your creative vision is brought to bear on the most pressing challenges of the future.
