Why Digital Arts at Stetson University?

Stetson's unique curriculum offers small class sizes that will allow you to work closely with accomplished faculty on projects that build your portfolio and prepare you for a career in the video game and animation industries, graphic design, sound design and many other fields. You will receive helpful feedback and critiques from peers and faculty, and you will learn how to market your aesthetic decisions within the profession by written summary and oral presentation. 

Our program allows students to hone their skills in many areas and creates a natural breeding ground for important collaborations across the arts. Students explore and build basic skills and knowledge through our foundational coursework. Then, they choose two areas in which to specialize. During their senior year, they showcase their skills and talents through a capstone project, the culmination of their academic experience.

Princeton Review: Top Gaming Program

"Stetson's DIGA program helped me prepare in ways I didn't know were possible actually. The classes do a great job at giving you freedom to do what you want. To some it would be daunting, but to others it opens the chance to do whatever you want to do creatively. If you ever are trying to push the boundaries of your own current abilities, the professors do a fantastic job at providing a pathway to higher learning."
