Course Requirements: Minor in Technology |
|---|
Requirements for a minor in Technology are a minimum of 21 credit hours—nine
(9) of which must be upper division courses (3000 level or higher). While technical elective
courses may, with permission, be taken from any of the department's
three undergraduate major program areas,
concentrated study in a particular technical area is encouraged. Students must
meet the prerequisites and/or co-requisites listed in the catalog for a particular course
they wish to take or obtain permission of the instructor.
Regardless of the number of credit hours transferred from technical institutes, colleges, or
military technical schools, students wishing to minor in technology or digital media
must complete a minimum of three (3) upper division courses within the department.

Minor in Digital Media |
|---|
In all art and communication disciplines, and in computer science, education,
business, and science disciplines, there is a growing need for visual communication tools
(such as web sites, animations, video, data or scientific visualization, computer graphics,
concept renderings, broadcast and presentation graphics, etc.). Some of the fastest growing
industries incorporate the use computer-based production. Students taking the minor will learn
skills that will make them more attractive to employers across a wide range of disciplines.
Students from any major that have an interest in Digital Media are welcome. Students from Art & Design,
Computer & Information Sciences, Communication, and Engineering Technology should find this minor
of particular value as they prepare for their careers.
