about the school
The Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts teaches students to tell stories and create worlds across disciplines old, new and those still being discovered.
Through filmmaking, interactive media, virtual reality, experience design, sonic arts, wearable technologies, AI and more, the Center allows students to flourish into creative leaders for an evolving world, graduating with the skills they need to tell the stories that matter to them.
