    Overview

    The Department of Design Media Arts (DMA) at UCLA is one of the nation's top design departments offering a comprehensive, multidisciplinary education in media creation, which fosters individual exploration and innovative thinking. Geared specifically for high school students, the department offers the DMA Summer Institute, a two-week program with morning and afternoon classes introducing design practices in the contexts of type, net, worlds, and video.

    The program is taught by professionally trained and well-experienced instructors using the most current software and technology. It culminates in a final exhibition and the creation of a portfolio-ready body of work that students may include in their college applications in related fields. It also provides students with a rare opportunity to sample college life in a cutting-edge design department, while earning four units of pass/no pass UC credit.

    To participate in the Design Media Arts Summer Institute, you must meet the following qualifications:

    Enrolled in grades 9th – 12th during Spring
    15 years of age or older prior to June 21 (program begins in July)

    Students who do not meet the minimum program requirements should not register and should consider other summer opportunities.
