The Electronic Arts major offers a multi-disciplinary study that explores the use of an artistic media that uses rapidly evolving technology as a means of self-expression and communication.
The major utilizes Linfield’s traditional curriculum in the liberal arts to allow students to pursue inquires in electronic arts. It allows students to investigate aspects of web design, computer graphics, or any combination of arts and technology. By combining the resources of the Art Department, Mass Communication, Computer Science, and Music, Electronic Arts creates a curriculum that uses aspects of each discipline as it relates to arts and technology.
