DMAT, which stands for Digital Media Art & Technology, is a collaboration between the Department of Telecommunication, Information Studies, and Media, School of Journalism, and Department of Advertising in the College of Communication Arts & Sciences at Michigan State University. DMAT is a member of the New Media Center program.

There are three key objectives of DMAT:

• One is to participate in the invention of new media technologies, experimenting with new genres, bringing our knowledge of traditional media and our inventiveness to bear on new capabilities.
  
• The second is to nurture and guide the next generation of media designers into the digital age, providing exposure to and experience with the latest tools, perspectives on the creative process, and approaches to developing high quality, compelling new media products.
  
• The third is the more traditional role of universities - to conduct research on the process, design and impacts of new media.

The interactive diagram below demonstrates the overlapping areas of DMAT, including media design, graphic design, and software design. Use the diagram to learn about the industries our graduates find jobs in, media types developed, the courses that are offered, the production and research facilities available, and the student groups within the DMAT area.
