The Creative Technology & Design’s mission is to elevate students’ understanding of advanced digital design concepts as well as their command of cutting-edge technologies. CT&D provides a flexible curriculum and an empowering transdisciplinary learning environment. You’ll learn how to combine technology insights with design principles to solve functional problems with design innovations. You will design digital content, products, platforms, experiences, and other solutions that leverage technology to improve people’s lives. 

CT&D offers seventeen specialized CT courses to six majors as well as college-wide elective courses. CT&D’s academic offerings include a core subject area in the Advertising and Digital Design BFA program, a certificate program in User Experience Design, a Digital Product Design Summer program in Italy, and a minor in Creative Technology. 

As a creative community, CT&D’s faculty and students strive to produce transformative work that fosters positive social changes. We believe designers are innovators, activists, and visionaries, and we live not only by our commitment to our clients but also by our commitment to our community and the society.
