COURSE CURRICULUM

The Interactive Media Management – Creative Technologies program curriculum is thoughtfully structured across three semesters to support the exploration, development, and application of emerging technologies through a human-centered lens. In Semester 1, students are introduced to foundational concepts through CTEC 5110: Introduction to Creative Technologies, CTEC 5111: Creative Technologies Seminar 1, CTEC 5112: Creative Technologies Lab 1, and CTEC 5113: Special Topics in Creative Technologies 1, where they begin experimenting with technologies such as AR, VR, AI, and IoT. These courses are complemented by IXD 5106: Introduction to Design for Interaction and IXD 5206: Product Management, which provide grounding in interaction design principles and managing innovative digital projects. Semester 2 deepens this knowledge through CTEC 5211: Creative Technologies Seminar 2, CTEC 5212: Creative Technologies Lab 2, and CTEC 5213: Special Topics in Creative Technologies 2, fostering specialization and refinement of ideas. Students also take IXD 5105: Interaction Design Studio 1, IXD 5200: Professional Practice, and IXD 5205: Interaction Design Studio 2 to continue exploring real-world applications, collaboration, and industry best practices. In Semester 3, the focus shifts to applying these accumulated skills in professional settings. Through CTEC 5300: Field Experience – Interactive Media Management, students engage in industry-relevant placements or projects. Simultaneously, CTEC 5310: Capstone serves as the culminating experience, enabling students to bring a major project from concept to completion. The program’s blend of creative exploration, practical labs, professional engagement, and capstone development equips graduates for dynamic roles in emerging technology sectors.
