Center for Digital Imaging Arts at Boston University
The bankrupted and shuttered Center for Digital Imaging Arts at Boston University (CDIA) focused on career-oriented education and training in the rapidly emerging digital arts fields of Digital Filmmaking, Photography, 3D Animation, Graphic & Web Design, Audio Production, and Web Development.
Campuses
The Center for Digital Imaging Arts had three campuses — the Waltham, Massachusetts campus was located near the Charles River on Moody Street in Waltham, Massachusetts, Washington, DC campus was located in Georgetown, and another campus in Atlanta, Georgia. CDIA also offered workshops in Prague.
History
The Boston University College of Communication developed CDIA as its "new digital imaging arts program."[1] Bob Daniels (COM’70, SED’76, GSM’79), the program's executive director, began his career as a staff photographer for the Quincy Patriot Ledger and was later executive director of Boston University's Corporate Education Center. CDIA’s certificate programs and workshops were initially designed to complement College of Communication’s degree programs.[1] Boston University College of Communication's Waltham-based campus has since expanded the university's integration with technology.[2]
After filing bankruptcy and losing their affiliation with Boston University, CDIA has reopened as The Center for Digital Arts.[3]
