Digital Art at Catholic University fuses the traditions of fine arts with new methods and practices offered by digital media through an interdisciplinary approach. Students receive a wide variety of skills and hands-on experience in graphic design, animation, photography, and video. Majors graduate prepared with real-world expertise, making them ideal candidates in creative industries ranging from advertising, video production, special effects, 3D animation, and more. Students work in our high-end digital art lab and have access to large-format ink-jet photo printers, HD video cameras, lighting equipment, and state-of-the-art Apple computers loaded with the Adobe Creative Suite and other industry-standard applications.
