Admission

The CMAT program is intended for students who have a strong background in the arts, science, or engineering (for example, visual arts, film/video, music, computer science, material science, mechanical engineering, or electrical and computer engineering), and who wish to earn a degree that integrates art and engineering. Prospective students should be ambitious and curious about intermedia art and should be interested in working on group projects and research.

An undergraduate degree (major discipline) in art, music, computer science, engineering, or another relevant field is required. Students are expected to have basic preparation including calculus-level mathematics. IIU graduate students already enrolled in other degree programs may petition to add the CMAT degree as a second degree objective.
