| | Starting in the 2007 catalog will be the Applied Computer Graphics Minor. For those looking to combine their area of expertise with computer graphics, we offer the opportunity to pursue a minor in APCG or as always you could pursue a double major. The APCG minor includes the core of APCG 110 Computer Assisted Art I, APCG 112 Digital Photography, and APCG 117 Concept Design and Storyboarding. After these core courses several possible options present themselves for the motivated and creative student when selecting the additional four APCG courses. You could concentrate on Computer Animation, 3-D Modeling or Video Game Design among others. Choose the area that excites you and works with your area of study. Consider the possibilities for the synergy of computer graphics and your field of study. Interesting possibilities!
Remember too that APCG 110 is a General Education Area C1 course.

| | The central elements of the interdisciplinary degree remain the same; just we are adding more Applied Computer Graphics courses to the degree along with a series of new optional courses. New courses that will be required include 2-D Digital Animation, 3-D Character Modeling along with an expanded senior production sequence. New electives include Video Game Design, Video Game Development, Video Game Production, Digital Lighting and Texturing, 3-D Character Animation, and Digital Compositing and Special Effects. Our focus is to keep in the lead when in comes to providing a dynamic learning environment to hone your technical skills and acquire practical experience. But as always it takes your dedication and your creativity both of which we encourage and foster. | |
