The University of Oklahoma Weitzenhoffer Family College of Fine Arts now offers an online Master of Arts in Art and Technology. Developed by the School of Visual Arts, this 33-credit hour program can be completed in as few as 18 months.

Graduates of this program will have the ability to work as graphic designers, animators, game developers, programmers, and more.

 

Keep Up with a Rapidly Changing Industry. Technology is impacting every aspect of modern life – including art and design. While artists and designers need education and guidance in coding, digital media and systems design, computer programmers, developers and other IT professionals need a grounding in visual art and culture to leverage their tech skills for creative expression.

Learn from Experts in the Field. Study with experts and practicing artists that have exhibited both nationally and internationally, and can help build your network.

Right Degree from Right School. Earn an advanced degree from a college that has been impacting the nexus between art, technology and culture since 1954.

Become a Competitive Candidate.
