Digital Media Institute

Digital Media Institute is a private nonprofit two-year institution located in Shreveport, LA, in a midsize-city setting. Unlike the nursing-focused schools common among vocational programs, DMI specializes in digital arts, offering a certificate program in Animation, Interactive Technology, Video Graphics, and Special Effects. The curriculum prepares students for careers in film, gaming, advertising, and other creative industries.

With a total enrollment of 51 students (IPEDS 2023), the institute maintains a small, studio-style learning environment. The school reports a 100% completion rate and a 100% retention rate (IPEDS 2023), and holds a quality score of 83/100. The focused cohort model allows for intensive, project-based instruction in digital media production.

For creatively inclined students in northwestern Louisiana and the broader Ark-La-Tex region, Digital Media Institute provides a specialized pathway into the digital media field, combining hands-on technical training with a small class environment designed to develop industry-ready skills.
