Electronic Design & Multimedia and The Robinson Center
The City College Art Department program in Electronic
Design & Multimedia prepares students for careers in design in traditional
print and emerging electronic media. The Electronic Design and Multimedia program
at City College offers one of the most comprehensive, affordable 4-year programs
in electronic art at a New York City public university, and has a 14-year record
of alumni success.
Our students have found employment in advertising agencies, graphic design firms,
magazines and newspapers as well as in the new media industries of web design,
multimedia design, 3D design and animation.
An important component of CCNY's Electronic Design and Multimedia Program is
the Robinson Center, established in 1994 by Herbert Robinson, Class of '37,
and his brothers Jerry and Bernard. The Robinson Center
was established to encourage exchange between emerging and experimental forms
of electronic media and traditional modes of publishing, typesetting, and printing
The Robinson Center has provided essential support for student grants, supplemental
software and hardware, contact with artists and design professionals in the
form of lectures and presentations, print and media resources, as well as other
material assistance to the Electronic Design & Multimedia Program.
