Admissions
For creatives, a fast-changing world represents an opportunity, not an obstacle.
Creators need to be critical thinkers, able to discern signals from the noise and question what they鈥檙e told. They need to be innovators, comfortable with rapid pivots as they experiment with new ideas in the face of complex problems. And above all, they must be makers鈥攄elivering documentaries that move us, news that informs us, platforms that connect us, urban designs that sustain us.
At the College of Communication, Media, Design and Information, we鈥檒l teach you how to use your voice and vision to shape creations that move the world. What will your story be?
