The BMPD is a 20-credit, four-year program with 12.0 core credits. That means you have 8.0 credits for elective options. You can choose courses from journalism or information technology. Online technologies are evolving quickly, revolutionizing the way we communicate with each other, disseminate information, and tell stories. Carleton’s Bachelor of Media Production and Design degree will give you the skills you need to leverage web technologies to produce highly visual, compelling, and immersive user experiences that bring data and stories to life. In this exciting and unique new program with first classes in September 2018, you will learn the theory and practice of taking an entire project to fruition – from idea or concept through to design, production, and distribution – by integrating your non-fiction storytelling, analytical and design abilities with your technical prowess.

BMPD graduates will apply creative production and design thinking to information strategies and narratives that help empower citizens, strengthen communities and help organizations of all sorts tell their stories online: media producers for mainstream and new digital media information-based producer/designers for not-for-profits, NGOs, corporations and governments digital communications experts data analysts/conceptualizers
