As a student in the multimedia computing program, you will develop computing skills specifically for use in developing and maintaining multimedia software. You’ll learn how to create digital content with 2D and 3D animation, and audio and video material. You will also learn how to develop web pages and design user interfaces. If you are looking to enter a cutting-edge, creative career, the Bachelor of Science in multimedia computing is for you.
Multimedia computing majors go on to work in a variety of fields, including animation, video editing, graphic design, and game development.
The program information listed here reflects the approved curriculum for the 2024–25 academic year per the Brooklyn College Bulletin. Bulletins from past academic years can be found here.
This program trains specialists in developing and maintaining multimedia software. The program includes basic computing background, mathematical training especially geared to multimedia design and production, specific courses in multimedia computing, and courses in digital arts.
A student excused, without credit, from a course may not take the course for credit later, except with permission of the chair.
