Administrative Assistant Clara Suba 905-688-5550 extension 3270 Thistle 269D The Interactive Arts and Science (IASC) program focuses on the intersection of digital technologies and the humanities. The program prepares the next generation of digital media innovators and scholars. The IASC program is offered through the Centre for Digital Humanities (CDH), which is centrally located on Brock's main campus. The CDH features a wide range of media production facilities that IASC students can utilize in order to achieve their scholarly and creative goals. The IASC program features academic and hands-on experiences that blend theory and practice. Students explore digital and interactive tools for analyzing, representing and visualizing ideas across disciplinary subjects. IASC students can choose from a wide selection of courses that focus on interactive media, its theoretical foundations and underlying production methods. Several courses are cross-listed with other academic programs at Brock. There are also directed project courses and an internship option that allow students to gain credit for learning experiences outside the formal classroom. The IASC program is highly individualized. IASC students can pursue an Honours or Pass Major, a Combined Major or a Minor program of study. Students can also focus their IASC studies on one of four concentration areas. Most courses are taught in small groups. The IASC program is designed to maximize choice and flexibility so that students can personalize their programs of study. There are also opportunities to collaborate with others, including faculty members and industry experts, on scholarly and interactive media projects. |
