Overview

The Computer Science/Digital Arts major includes coursework in computer science and the digital arts. It is also closely allied with elements in the Communications major such as journalism, traditional media, new media and communication studies.

As a point of distinction, both majors include the focus on content and clear communication now demanded by the field, plus a strong hands-on component.

As a second point of distinction, each of these majors takes into consideration the native abilities/skills each student brings to the program, and offers avenues of coursework uniquely suited to those varying skills. These avenues are referred to as Emphasis areas. Between Computer Science/Digital Arts and Communication, there are seven to choose from.

No one with genuine interest need be left out of this multi-faceted field. With a strong focus on goals and the guidance of our faculty, students can find and succeed in the computer science/digital arts/new media/communication career path most suited to them.
