What is Digital Communications?

Digital Communications is a unique major that combines elements of design, user experience, storytelling, and more to prepare graduates for the ever-changing digital world. Every one of these projects are interdisciplinary, and share aspects of each concentration with many others.

Why Music?

By combining music and videography, it helps to create a deeper understanding of the ebb and flow in storytelling. I can create not only the visuals, but also all the music and sound effects. Music is an artistic form, so it adds creativity, interacting well with all other concentrations of the Digital Communications major.
