THE ART INSTITUTE OF HOUSTON
RENAMES INTERACTIVE MEDIA DESIGN PROGRAM TO INCLUDE EMPHASIS IN WEB DESIGN
Houston-TX, OCTOBER 15, 2007 - In response to advancements and the enhancement of a
designer's role within the communication technology field, The Art Institute of
Houston has renamed its Interactive Media Design program to be called Web Design &
Interactive Media. This program's renaming is intended to highlight The Art
Institutes web design curriculum strength within an existing program.
Larry Horn, President at The Art Institute of Houston, commented on the renaming of
the program, saying "Today in the rising world of e-commerce, every industry
understands the need for a web presence to successfully conduct business. Due to the
high visibility of web positions in today's marketplace, we felt it was important to
clearly communicate our strong web design curriculum to future students."
The curriculum for Web Design & Interactive Media will continue to offer students
classes that address interface design, interactivity, visual design, database
design, dynamic content design, technology, information design, Photoshop and other
layout programs. Graduates of the bachelor's degree program will be prepared to
enter the job market in entry-level positions such as Web Designer, Interactive
Designer and Web Programmer.
