Hello everyone, I wanted to share with you an email I received from the University of Southern California, which has created a new degree program that looks extremely interesting. This is great for students thinking about going into the media arts field. See the message below from Dr. Harke, the Dean of Students at USC, and as always, happy searching! “The Bachelor of Arts in Media Arts + Practice is for students interested in harnessing the power of digital storytelling and media design for uses in diverse fields, from business to education, from architecture to medicine, from urban planning to law.   The program combines the history and theory of 20th and 21st century media forms with hands-on production experience and research. This program is one of the most exciting programs to come to USC in many years.” Please visit the website for this program at MAP-USC Joseph D. Korfmacher, MA
