East Tennessee State University and Walters State Community College announced a new articulation agreement between the two schoolsâ digital media programs, allowing students to transfer directly into ETSUâs undergraduate program as a junior after completing their associate degree at Walters State.
The programs at both institutions will focus on animation, game design and visual effects. Marty Fitzgerald, a professor and chair of ETSUâs digital media department, said in a press release that the university is glad to partner with Walters State and bring this type of education to more areas of the state.
Walters State President Dr. Tony Miksa said in the release that the idea came after students at Walters State requested an associateâs degree that fed directly into ETSUâs program.
East Tennessee State University will launch the stateâs first Master of Fine Arts in Digital Media beginning this fall.
Combining art and technology curriculum, the goal of the new MFA in Digital Media will be to meet the growing industry need for highly qualified digital artists by providing an avenue for advanced graduate-level study in digital media studio practice. Application deadline for fall 2021 is Aug. 1.
The program aligns with standards set by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design and is available to individuals who seek further training in animation, visual effects, game design, motion graphics, 3D and UI/UX and more. Recent college graduates and existing professionals alike will fine-tune their craft for successful careers in the creative economy.
