New Mexico is home to two universities that have been recognized for their respective digital media degree programs. Animation Career Review ranked New Mexico State University 49th of the top 100 U.S. schools for animation and game design. The Princeton Review recently ranked the top 10 schools for undergraduate and graduate game design; the University of New Mexico is pegged at 9th.
The University of New Mexico (UNM) College of Fine Arts Interdisciplinary Film & Digital Media (IFDM) Program is designed to offer students an IFDM degree that can be customized to meet a variety of interests and needs, including computer-based applications like simulations or animation, production level courses, or business applications that emphasize the legal, marketing, and accounting aspects of the digital film industry.
The School of Engineering's Advanced Graphics Lab (AGL) at UNM is the principal research center for computer graphics, computational image processing, computer vision, visualization, user-interaction, and related fields in digital media. Researchers in the AGL have been awarded more than $1.6 million in sponsored research for projects relating to these fields.
Research projects at the AGL include:
The ARTS Lab (Arts, Research, Technology and Science Laboratory) at UNM is driven by transdisciplinary research, between the humanties and sciences, relating to new trends and opportunities in media production, gaming, computer graphics, and interactive applications. The research is then applied to areas including: film, telehealth, national security, game technology, new media, and more in order to stimulate growth and innovation in existing and emerging markets. UNM collaboration partners include: AGL, the Department of Computer Science, the Center for Advanced Research Computing, the College of Fine Arts’ Electronic Arts Program, the School of Architecture and Planning, and the Interdisciplinary Film and Digital Media Program (IFDM).
Examples of ARTS Lab projects:
The Creative Media Institute (CMI) at New Mexico State University is a dynamic cross-disciplinary program that prepares students for 21st century digital filmmaking and animation and visual effects. The CMI includes an animation lab offering areas of concentration in classical animation, character animation, visual effects, 3D computer animation, science visualization, and interactive animation.
New Mexico Highlands University Media Arts & Technology program provides state-of-the-art Mac labs and a digital film and animation studio. Several degree programs are offered in media arts or a combination of media arts and computer science.
Central New Mexico College’s Film Technician Program offers two certificates: Film Crew Technician and Post Production Technician.
The Santa Fe University of Art & Design offers strong degree programs in Graphic Design & Digital Arts as well as a full-fledged Film School.
Santa Fe Community College has an established comprehensive film program offering associates degrees and certificates in film making and production.
The Santa Fe Higher Education Center, which is located near the Santa Fe University of Art & Design, offers a Bachelor’s degree in Cinema and Technology.

Researchers in the AGL have been awarded more than $1.6 million in sponsored research for projects relating to these fields.
Research projects at the AGL include:
- Compressed sensing, an emerging field within the applied mathematics community that shows how to accurately reconstruct a signal from a small set of linear measurements
- Computational photography, a growing field within computer graphics that develops new photographic techniques by combining digital imaging, novel optics, and innovative processing algorithms
- Novel algorithms for visualization in digital domes and multi-surface environments, utilizing digital fulldomes for the visualization of complex data sets
