The School of Information Arts and Technologies offers a number of undergraduate and graduate degree programs, including our M.S. in Interaction Design and Information Architecture, a B.S. in Applied Information Technology, a B.T.P.S. in Simulation and Digital Entertainment, Certificates in New Media Publishing and Information Design, and a Doctor of Communications Design (DCD).

My current work focuses on the Sociable Literacy Project.
