What will I learn?

As digital media continue to proliferate, locally, regionally, nationally, and globally, the demand for qualified professionals able to fill positions in digital content creation, management, and distribution is growing. The Master of Science in Digital Design (MSDD) is a low-residency 30-credit to 45-credit intermediate graduate program credential designed to offer paths for students entering with varying levels of previous knowledge and experience. The MSDD is a 30-credit to 45-credit intermediate graduate program credential designed to combine the course work of any three graduate certificate programs: Animation Essentials, Game Design and Interactivity Essentials, or UI/UX Design Essentials plus two synthetic graduate level digital design studios. Students with an undergraduate background in Digital Arts and Design can immediately begin taking course work in any of these three specialized concentrations. For those who need it, the Digital Arts Essentials coursework provides a firm preparatory foundation. There is also a non-studio track available for those wishing to focus on a broader selection of 3-credit course content in lieu of two 6-credit design studios.

Entry requirements

For international students

The School of Art plus Design requires students to submit a portfolio of creative work as part of the NJIT admissions process. The portfolio will be looked at as only one of a number of factors when evaluating a candidate for admission, and in some instances, a strong portfolio may make the difference between being offered a place in the class and not being offered admission.

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
