UCLA Department of Design Media Arts Named Top Design School by Graphic Design USA
Graphic Design USA recently published its annual roundup of Students To Watch sponsored by The Creative Group. Based on this list, the major institutions that are educating the next generation of designers has been compiled and presented in alphabetical order. One theme stands out: education is more important than ever as the lines between the studio and the classroom, the office and the academy, the university and society, continue to blur.
The UCLA Department of Design Media Arts (DMA) offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to media creation that fosters individual exploration and innovative thinking. DMA is committed to educating conscientious creators by emphasizing production within the contexts of history and theory. Within the department, design is a process and a way of thinking, and media arts foreground experimental media creation. The results emerge in and on books, galleries, game consoles, installations, films, magazines, performances, public spaces, televisions, and websites. DMA strives to create socially and culturally relevant objects, experiences, and spaces.
