Integrated Media Arts (IMA) is a cross-disciplinary major that reflects the engagement of new imaging technologies in contemporary art with a study of their cultural impact. You will use of digital technology as a sophisticated art-making tool within a broad, cross-disciplinary context.

We encourage students to participate in inter-collegiate collaborations, especially with The Hartt School's Department of Composition and Department of Dance, the College of Engineering, Technology and Architecture, and the Cinema Department in the College of Arts and Sciences.
