Laptop Recommendations

IMD has no strict requirements for which computer you use, but we recommend the following:

A Windows (10 or later) laptop with 16Gb (or more) of memory.

Departmental Exceptions to Policy

The Immersive Media Design program will consider a departmental exception to policy only in rare and extraordinary circumstances outside of a student's control. A request for a departmental exception to policy is not guaranteed. 

New Works Incubator

The Immersive Media Design New Works Incubator launched in the summer of 2021 to give students across the University of Maryland campus the opportunity to create and present original works of immersive media. The incubator culminated in public presentations of student work as part of NextNow.

The incubator enables student creators to explore new areas of immersive media and create works based on their own interests and initiatives.

Land Acknowledgment

Every community owes its existence and strength to the generations before them, around the world, who contributed their hopes, dreams, and energy into making the history that led to this moment.

Truth and acknowledgement are critical in building mutual respect and connections across all barriers of heritage and difference.

Computing Academic Planning

All first semester first-year and transfer students in the Computing B.S. are required to create and follow a graduation and academic plan for successful degree completion within a reasonable time.
