Digital/Multimedia Expression

Digital/Multimedia Expression falls under the Communication Capacity.

Communication through means other than words—whether spoken or written—requires a distinct set of skills.

In a world where messages are routinely conveyed through audiovisual media, BU students need to develop an understanding of the role and impact of color, composition, rhythm, and acoustics that matches their mastery of verbal syntax and rhetoric. Today, in addition to live performances and installations, BU graduates receive information and experience the world through websites, videos, podcasts, and more. They must be able not only to consume and appreciate these and other forms of digital expression, but to evaluate and produce them.
