Department of Computer Graphics Technology

The Department of Computer Graphics Technology touches all aspects of computer graphics, from animation to scientific visualization, and from user experience to game studies. Research projects on these topics push the boundaries of how the medium can be used, while the variety of degree options prepare students to be practitioners and managers in an array of computer graphics-related careers. With eight areas of specialization to choose from, undergraduate computer graphics students can align their plan of study with their talents. Real-world projects and research opportunities help students put theories into practice.

The five-year combined BS/MS Degree Program in Computer Graphics Technology enables outstanding students to complete the Bachelor of Science in a Computer Graphics Technology major and the Master of Science in Computer Graphics Technology in a total of five years, rather than six years or more (if pursued separately). Visit the Computer Graphics Technology website for additional information about this option.
