MS Degree Program
Area of Concentration in Digital Art Digital art is an area of concentration for two types of students. Digital art can be for the computer professionals to understand the artistic creative process in order to infuse art into multimedia productions, computer graphics, 2D and 3D simulations and computer-aided design. Digital art can also be for the artist to learn computer technologies in order to apply them in the artistic creative process. Since digital art combines art and science, it is very suitable for scientists with an artistic inclination, or artists with a scientific bias.
Knowledge Systems Institute offers coursework and research in the field of Digital Art. This program is designed as an area of concentration for the person who is a computer professional interested in the artistic creative process. Although the program is designed primarily for this type of students, an artist interested in computer technology can also benefit from this program. Upon completion of all requirements, a Master of Science degree in Computer and Information Sciences with a concentration in Digital Art is awarded. Computer professionals with training in digital art will find employment in many large or small companies engaged in content creation, as well as companies that are primarily content providers.
