USC Interactive Media Division

The University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts's Interactive Media Division first accepted students in 2002. In addition to coursework in film production, screenwriting, and animation, students in the division study across three disciplines within interactive media: immersive media, mobile media, and video games. The IMD has a group weblog edited by the students and faculty, sharing the results of their research.
