from entertainment to education, virtual technology has transformed the way people live and work around the globe.

as a student in this industry-driven program, students will learn to create virtual technologies for gaming, animated films, simulations, business and education, and other applications. students will study art and design, computer science, 3d modeling, animation, world-building, storytelling, character design, spatial design, four-dimensional design, and much more.

design studios and hands-on projects provide opportunities to practice building virtual worlds for real clients. for example, students could help build second-life environments for education and health care, liquid scenery for student plays, interactive virtual realities for first-responder training, and animated films for a university festival.
