Mr. Roddy Bogawa, Chairperson
The Media Arts Department is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). The Media Arts Center houses a full color, broadcast-quality television studio, MAC and PC digital media labs, radio and audio production facilities, and 16mm film production and post-production facilities. Works produced in the Media Arts Department include experimental, digitally animated, documentary and narrative short subjects, and independent feature productions.
The department has a studio/classroom for multi-media production and two large projection/seminar rooms for weekly screenings. Completing the Media Arts Center facilities are AVID and Final Cut Pro video editing suites, and 16mm Steenbeck editing suites. The Center is the official home of The Thomas Edison-Black Maria Film/Video Festival, New Jersey's own Academy Award qualifying festival for documentary shorts. The Media Arts Department is a co-sponsor of the New Jersey Young Film and Videomakers Festival.
Faculty members are active in the production of original films and videos. Their work has been screened at major festivals and museums including the Museum of Modern Art, the Margaret Mead Festival at the Museum of Natural History, and The Whitney Museum of American Art.
The Media Arts Department offers a single degree track, providing students with a rigorous foundation in media production, as well as the opportunity to pursue a concentration in the areas of video, film, digital media production, and audio production. Department faculty members act as advisors and mentors in the areas of film production, video production, audio production, digital media, screenwriting, and theory/aesthetics. The department offers an innovative minor program that allows students to design their own program of study under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Students outside the department wishing to take media classes must complete all required prerequisites and obtain the permission of the chair before registering for 300 and 400 level courses.
The Dr. Joseph Drew Award for Excellence in Production Award is given every year to a graduating senior from the Media Arts Department. The recipient of the award is chosen by the Media Arts Department faculty on the basis of an overall grade point average of 3.0 or better, and the demonstration of a high level of technical competence in a number of production areas as well as a high level of creativity and professionalism in completed productions.
