Design

With AMPD Design, students explore and expand the boundaries of design. By managing and communicating complex bodies of information, students create meaningful human experiences in our increasingly visual world. Students learn to recognize complex problems as comprising systems of social, cultural and technological networks.

Digital media shapes everyday life, rapidly transforming modes of communicating, working and living. Seize the chance to unite your artistic self with your inner techie and expand your creative horizons with AMPD Digital Media.

 

Integrative Arts

Combine art and technology to create meaningful social change with AMPD Integrative Arts. Students code, craft and collaborate across AMPD programs to develop a dynamic degree ready to take on tomorrow's unique tech, business and creative challenges. 

 

Visual Arts & Art History

AMPD Visual Arts pairs intensive studio training and art theory to offer students a curriculum grounded in artwork production and coloured by comparative cultural analysis. The comprehensive program provides students foundational classes in all artistic media (painting, sculpture, print media, drawing, photography and interdisciplinary art) while still allowing specialization.
