Course Overview

  • New media interactive development is an RIT New Economy Major. This collection of degree programs is forward-thinking and future-forming and helps prepare you to excel in the multidisciplinary nature of our modern, dynamic economy.
  • You’ll use current and emerging technologies to develop interactive web design, touchscreens, wearables, and interactive objects in a digital environment.
  • Course work concentrates on programming and interactive development with classes on mobile development and alternative interfaces, website design and implementation, physical/wearable computing, game design, game development, design, and media production, interactive audio, and more.
  • Two blocks of cooperative education (co-op) experience provides full-time, paid career experience working in the industry.
  • Collaborate with students in RIT’s new media design major, which focuses heavily on interactive media from a design perspective and emphasizes visual communication, 2D and 4D design, animation, and design strategy.
  • Complete your studies with New Media Design Capstone I and II, a two-course, two-semester experience in which you’ll work on a project for a corporate client who is seeking to identify and implement a digital solution to a challenge.

The field of new media explores new and evolving digital technologies—the internet, social software, hand-held and wearable devices, touch and gestural interfaces, the Internet of Things, virtual reality, augmented reality, and more—to create interactive and engaging digital experiences.

In the new media interactive development major, you’ll learn the programming and computing skills for multiple interfaces, as well as the interactive design skills needed to create outstanding user interaction. You can focus your studies on a specific area of new media to truly explore your interests and adapt your skills to a range of emerging technologies.

What is New Media?

New media is an ever-changing form of digital communication that engages, immerses, and often entertains users.

The term new media was first coined in the mid-80s to refer to the impact computing was beginning to have on traditional forms of media, like newspapers, radio, and television. But as digital platforms began to evolve beyond the internet, new media came to encompass all types of information and entertainment accessed by our computers, phones, and tablets. New media now encompasses anything that integrates communication, computing, and technology – from social media networks (Facebook, Instagram) and music and television streaming services (Spotify, Hulu, Amazon Prime), to highly interactive digital technologies like wearables (Apple Watch, FitBit), virtual reality, augmented reality, and gaming.
