Founded in interdisciplinary and hands-on learning, Stevens' visual arts and technology program empowers students to grow into technological experts and passionate artists.

By combining their imagination with the rigor of a Stevens education, students launch themselves into early career success. It's the breadth and depth of the visual arts and technology program that helps graduates land positions in a wide range of creative fields, and today, our alumni work as software engineers, video game developers, UI/UX designers, creative directors and more.

Students pursuing their bachelor's degree choose between four concentrations: creative computation, design, game design, and moving image. Students throughout Stevens can also earn a minor in visual arts and technology.
