Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Arts Technology] From Illinois State University

This is what students in the Arts Technology program do. Students use digital media to explore areas of traditional creative art making in music, sound, still and moving imagery, and typography to express ideas and solve problems.

The Arts Technology Program has partnered with Heartland Community College, Illinois Central College and Elgin Community College and produced 2 + 2 Articulation Agreements that will allow transfer students a smooth transition into the Arts Technology major.

The Arts Technology program combines serious artistry with modern technology to train true digital artists who are prepared to adapt to today's needs.

Why Study Arts Technology?

Students throughout the Arts program can take courses in Arts Technology, but those who major in Arts Technology get more in-depth study in digital image-making, audio, and interactive environments such as the Web. The program is a multimedia program providing experiences in music (sound design), theater (light and sound design), and art (Web design). The curriculum emphasizes theory, design, and practice in the application of computer technology to art, music, and theatre. A degree in Arts Technology prepares students with a broad range of knowledge and skills in multimedia design, including digital video and sound, computer graphics and theater design, digital and MIDI music, and Web design.
