Media Arts & Technology

Media Arts and Technology is the convergence of new media technology and traditional graphic design. Lakes Region Community College has a long history of teaching graphic design with detailed technical proficiency accompanied by a foundation of design that encourages creativity in students.

The Media Arts and Technology program at Lakes Region Community College is committed to educating responsible designers with the fundamentals of Design, Technology and the Arts, and encourages student experimentation and personal growth. A detailed education in Design and Media Arts practice, history and criticism, the program encourages critical exploration of emerging forms of visual communication, typography, interactive design and sequential art. The Media Arts and Technology Program has been created as a natural evolution of the Graphic Design Program into a program that is more inclusive of new media design and production. The program has been developed in collaboration with Belknap County Economic Development Council, Rochester Institute of Technology, and Graphic Design and Media Arts professionals throughout New Hampshire.

Media Arts and Technology students will have a rich selection of core courses that will assist them in meeting their individual career or transfer focus. The core of the program will include a detailed education in Design and Media Arts practice, history and criticism, while encouraging critical exploration of emerging forms of visual communication, typography, interactive design and sequential art.
