Multimedia at UArts
Multimedia students learn through play, hands-on experimentation, research and iteration. We collaborate across disciplines and communicate our work to a larger community. We rethink technology to create new experiences and applications. By questioning and responding to the world today, we shape and envision the world tomorrow.

Students learn from award-winning faculty in small seminar and studio classes. Our faculty's honors, awards and inclusions selectively include the Art Director’s Club Silver Pencil (advertising), Webbies (web), PRINT annual (design), Communication Arts Annual (design), and HOW Design Best of (Interactive).

Multimedia alumni are pioneers. We live and work all over the world, in India, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., New York and right here in Philadelphia. We are Web designers and developers, motion graphics artists, game designers, producers, art directors, IT managers, performers and artists. We do exciting things outside the boundaries of the traditional. Visit the Multimedia program's home page on the CMAC Web site
