Explore Digital Storytelling & Interactive Design
Podcasting, social media, virtual reality, and data science exemplify innovative technologies that offer vast opportunities, reshaping the future of communication in our increasingly digital world. To prepare both new entrants to the workforce and those already in it, Rutgers Graduate School-Camden is offering two new degree programs: a Master of Arts (M.A.) and a Master of Professional Studies (M.P.S.) in Emerging Media. The curriculum of these programs is designed to guide students in developing practical skills in digital media production, gaining fluency in multiple software platforms, and exploring the cultural impact of digital media. In these programs, students will study digital storytelling and interaction design, acquiring the skills necessary to lead innovation and shape the future of the media landscape.
To learn more about this innovative program, we sit down in this episode with the program’s inaugural directors, Dr. Jim Brown, an Associate Professor of English and Director of the Digital Studies Center, and Dr. Robert Emmons, Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of Visual, Media, and Performing Arts. They discuss the program’s alignment with current media trends, the hands-on experiences available to students, and how it will equip graduates for careers in the dynamic field of media and communication.
