| Multimedia is the use of computers for the integration of graphics animation, video, music, speech, and live presentation. Active markets for multimedia include (1) the Internet, where careers in web page creation and website management have grown exponentially in recent years; (2) business, where computer presentations have taken the place of slide shows; (3) education, where teachers and parents are finding new ways to present their material; and (4) the entertainment industry, with the ever-growing use of computers for special effects in games, music videos , and films. | |
| Multimedia studies will enable graduates from programs in graphic-design, music, education, business, and many other disciplines to use the computer not only to generate traditional print materials but also to design interactive programs for use in websites, CD-ROMs, business presentations, games and educational software. | |
| The mutilmedia courses and the web page creation courses have been designed to allow students to use computer, audio, video, and graphic technologies to conceptualize and imlement interactive interfaces in a comprehensive approach that includes the multimedia production process, the technology, and the aesthetic design. | |
