"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

In 2006, the first year Media Arts offered a BA, some 20 students enrolled, said Mark Shogren, department director. Now, the program counts some 350 majors, and it’s turning away applicants every year.

"Our enrollment has increased dramatically over the last couple of years," Shogren said.

In order to grow beyond the confines of classroom walls and a small number of faculty, Media Arts is now offering a BA degree that’s fully online, the first at UM. The classes are designed to offer students cutting-edge material in a format that showcases skills the program aims to teach.
