The Media Arts Department is a place where filmmakers, artists, designers, writers, and composers come together to make things. We value passion, curiosity, and equal parts fun and hard work. Our location in southern Minnesota gives us a unique perspective marked by grit, resourcefulness, and versatility.
Students have access to our state of the art facilities, equipment, and labs—all while getting connected to the industry through campus speakers, practical instruction, national trips, and alumni networks. Visit the MART blog to learn more.

Trampled by Turtles teamed up with the Media Arts department to create the official music video for “Midnight on the Interstate” (now at over a million views and nearly 5k likes).
During Spring 2020, Professor Kurt Paulsen and students came together to create another video–this time for Trampled by Turtles’ lead singer, David Simonett’s solo debut. The album earned a write-up by Rolling Stone.

“Being part of the student newspaper and hockey broadcast crew for four years really helped jump-start my career. Going from the “stats guy” to head producer and co-anchor of the pre-game show provided me with a wide range of experience that led to internships with FOX Sports North and the Minnesota Twins.”
