Due to staffing, departmental, and curricular changes at Eastern, the New Media Studies major has been frozen to new students and will no longer be offered beyond students currently enrolled and completing their degree plan. Currently enrolled students can continue to check their degree plan on this website. For students wishing to pursue an experience like New Media Studies, we encourage them to consider the following programs:
- For those most interested in NMS for training in fields like 2D and 3D animation, digital graphic design, UI implementation, or other art-oriented approaches, we strongly suggest the following choice from our Art department:
easternct.edu/art-and-art-history/programs-of-study/digital-art-design.html
- For those seeking training in things like video editing, filmmaking, social media content creation & design, or audio and sound design, we strongly suggest the Integrated Media and Social Media concentrations of the Communication major:
easternct.edu/programs/communication.html
- And for those with an interest in live performance and its integration of elements like video projection, VR, lighting, or sound art, we strongly suggest the Performance Media concentration of the Theater major:
easternct.edu/theatre/programs-of-study/concentrations/performance-media.html
All three options are closely related to the Integrated Media, Digital Art, and Performance Media concentrations found in the prior New Media Studies degree plan.
