Showcase your artistic talents and tell stories through your artwork with the two-year Interactive Media Design degree.
The Interactive Media Design program at Moraine Park gives students creative control to produce a variety of unique animations and graphics. Have you ever wondered how virtual worlds or applications on touch-screen kiosks are created? You'll get to learn the process while earning an associate degree.
Students gain hands-on experience designing and manipulating animations, sound, text and video into multimedia presentations.
