GLEN ELLYN - The College of DuPage has launched a new Interactive Media Degree that combines courses from three programs to best prepare students for careers developing websites, digital interfaces and other interactive media applications.

Recently approved by the Illinois Community College Board, the Associate in Applied Science degree requires coursework from the graphic design, motion picture/TV and computer information systems programs. The cross-discipline approach provides students with the skills for entry-level employment as interface designers, user experience designers, interaction designers and front-end developers.

Students can also transfer to a four-year school to pursue a bachelor's degree.

''The Interactive Media degree ties courses together in a logical way,'' said John Callegari, professor and coordinator of COD's Graphic Design program. ''Interdisciplinary studies are becoming the norm, and

interactive design is both a technical pursuit and a creative endeavor.''
