The CMDC<ref>http://www.dtc-wsuv.org/cmdc/</ref>program at WSUV is home to the Digital Technology and Culture degree, one of the five Signature Programs offered. The program emphasizes the power of innovation and integrates technology with education to create a diverse, rich-media experience for students. It also offers multiple courses and extra-curricular opportunities for students to experience the future of their innovations in an entrepreneurial setting. Under the direction of Dr. Dene Grigar <supref>[[#_ftn2|[2]]]http://www.nouspace.net/dene/Webpages/Home.html</supref> the program features the production of everything from mobile apps to interactive art exhibits. It directs students to innovate through creativity, critical thinking and real world problem solving. The students also have the invaluable experience of the Senior Capstone Course <supref>[[#_ftn3|[3]]]http://www.dtc-wsuv.org/cmdc/senior_seminar.html</supref> that provides a real world experience for students to jumpstart their professional thinking and careers.
=== Nouspace ===
The CMDC Program is also home to the Nouspace Gallery<supref>[[#_ftn4|[4]]]http://dtc-wsuv.org/wp/nouspace/</supref>. Nouspace is a showcase for exemplary work of innovative students in the program. Gallery shows consist of student created pieces using digital media to solve problems or create cultural comments referencing the growing intersection of art, technology, and the humanities. Nouspace also offers the opportunity for students to develop entrepreneurial skills in curating as they manage and organize exhibits.
=== Creative Media Lab ===
The WSUV School of Engineering and Computer Science offers multiple state of the art laboratories devoted to academics and research. The new spaces, completed in 2011, feature student workstations with the latest software and hardware. The lab space is open to all engineering student for innovation and features multiple spaces for specific purposes.
