Integral to our curricula are opportunities to acquire career development skills critical for professional artists. Professional practices are addressed in coursework, while visiting and resident artists offer unique insight into their respective disciplines. Internships provide invaluable experience in a real-world setting. Undergraduate students may choose to minor in entrepreneurship and emerging enterprises, which is offered through SU's Martin J. Whitman School of Management and includes coursework in essential business tools.

The Department of Transmedia is comprised of 12 full-time faculty members (complemented by approximately the same number of adjunct instructors) who serve approximately 250 undergraduate and graduate students.
