In addition to your coursework, you will produce a comprehensive thesis project and thesis book relating to interactive communication design, on a topic of personal interest.
Past and current DMI students come from all over the world and have backgrounds as fine artists, musicians, performers, journalists, photographers, graphic designers, architects, industrial designers, educators, and developers.
The DMI program will prepare you and your fellow students for high-level creative positions at innovative agencies, design firms, startups, and digital companies and qualifies you to teach at the university level. Many DMI graduates have gone on to work at leading companies such as Adobe Systems, Amazon, Apple, Bose, Google, IBM, and Microsoft. Other graduates have chosen to pursue careers in academia, teaching at institutions such as Brandeis University, Emmanuel College, MIT, Northeastern University, Rhode Island School of Design, Wentworth Institute of Technology, Michigan State University, and China Central Academy of Fine Arts.
