First-Year Students
CMDI offers seven undergraduate majors to prepare students with the expertise and versatility they will need to thrive in a rapidly evolving communication landscape.
Students learn to collaborate effectively in groups, leverage resources and develop new understandings of how people interact with each other, media and technology.
Be Involved
Our approach is one of connection— how people connect to the built environment, to technology, to the media and to one another. Our college is a lively creative hub with dozens of student clubs in design, technology, journalism, advertising and more. We offer unique opportunities to study in media and cultural capitals in the U.S., South America and Europe.
Equipment / Labs
As a CMDI student, you enjoy access to specialized creative and makerspaces where you will bring your visions to life. Students use podcasting booths, broadcasting studios, an immersive media lab, equipment vaults and more for both class assignments and independent passion projects. The equipment vaults include hundreds of cameras, audio and lighting equipment, and more.
