This configuration enables CMII to attract exceptionally strong teachers and administrators who often bring extensive professional experience in the media and content creation industries and to mentor new colleagues into the classroom and student mentoring excellence.
CMII operates an advanced technology content creation center and offers undergraduate bachelor (BA/BS) degree programs in Game Design & Development and a Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) in Media Entrepreneurship, as well as an MFA concentration in Virtual Production launching in Fall 2022.
