New media degrees in Indiana
The following link is to an interesting story on students at Indiana University seeking careers in the "new media."

degrees in new media computer careers

To me this is sort of a nebulous term -- the story refers to cell phones and PDAs. They're offering degrees in the new media from the School of Informatics.

The story makes the options look really broad, which I guess in inevitable -- ranging from graphics design in 2-D and 3-D, Adobe Photoshop, mentions of sound composition and video game design.

But one student is really interested in the design of patient medical records. I can hardly imagine that a college student is that focused, but at least there's the recognition this must all be channeled into practical uses.

So the purpose of the course offerings seem to give the students a basic knowledge of the broad range of possibilities of multimedia and how they might apply it to real life.
