Art Studies - Digital Arts & Science
A portfolio review will be required of students prior to admission into junior level studio courses. It is important that any students interested in the concentration in Digital Arts and Science confer with the adviser in the School of Art and Art History regarding this program. The rapid pace of technological development may necessitate periodic updates to the specific course titles and numbers published. Consequently, the curriculum outlined in this catalog should be regarded as an outline. Currently updated curriculum sheets from the adviser and SASS audits are the most reliable form for this concentration in the Arts Studies major.
