The faculty panel oversees the curriculum for the BDP, reviews applications from prospective students, and participates in community-building events.

“I found the BDP to provide a starting point for me to narrow down my wide range of interests. I wasn’t completely sure what major I wanted, but I did know the general direction I wanted to follow. The Digital Arts and Media BDP had classes that covered all my potential options.”
