UCLA APPROVED
Our course curriculum is developed in cooperation with UCLA’s Department of Design Media Arts (DMA).
The program is equally conceptual and hands-on, fostering a unique approach to the intersection of art and technology.
These new techniques that I was exposed to are not only interesting, but they allowed me to grow and expand creatively in ways that would not otherwise be possible.
