Interactive Media

Using technology to communicate.

Interactive Media

Interactive Media is an interdisciplinary program combining Multimedia Communication, Graphic Design, and Computer Science.

Technology has changed how we communicate with each other, within groups, and in society, and it will only continue to evolve. Simpson is one of only two schools in Iowa to offer this major, which combines graphic art, multi-media communication, and computer programming to create interactive media for communication with an audience.

Students who major in Interactive Media will learn to create and work with digital media applications that are aesthetically pleasing, communicate the intended message, react to user input, and store, retrieve and process information.
