Advising Course Plan - Digital Arts Major B.S. - 2 Year Plan

It is appropriate for students who have already completed sixteen units of coursework with many of the General Education requirements satisfied by that earlier coursework (remaining general education requirements must be able to be completed with four courses (not including the Junior Seminar). The student’s individual academic plan will be developed in consultation with an adviser and reviewed each semester prior to registering for the next semester. This plan assumes that the student has has taken a course equivalent to either DIGA 101A or DIGA 161A , two additional DIGA courses, plus have sufficient computer coding experience to place intoCSCI 141. Students who have completed less than 16 units, have a substantial number of General Education requirements yet to satisfy, or who have not completed the courses just listed may not be able to complete the degree in two years.
