Program Description
The Master of Science in Digital Production Arts is a non-terminal professional degree program aimed at producing graduates who intend to seek employment in the technology-based, electronic arts industry, in particular working with the technical components of visual effects production for the film, electronic games and commercial video industries. Graduates from the MS DPA program are well suited for a myriad of employment opportunities, including such junior level positions as technical directors, tools and development engineers, effects programmers, system programmers, and technical animators.
Core courses provide the broad underlying technical and studio methods foundations for advanced study and lead to original studio and research work.

Non-Technical electives allow students to develop specialized knowledge or broaden their background to support digital art production.
