New Ideas, New Technology
The program integrates courses from the Information Technology program, like web development, and blends it with the custom and newly created courses. Film is rapidly becoming a staple form of communication. GMMD challenges the status quo with specialized film courses and theater production courses.
Write Your Own Future
This program is writing intensive. Students should be prepared to take English and communications courses during the first three years of the program.
Real-World Opportunities
The final semester of this program consists of either an on-the-job internship or a project based individual or team product launch project. Students can opt to get a leg up on their post graduate careers or can opt to create a totally new product for unveiling.
