ABOUT THE PROGRAM

This program is a combination of both a Bachelor of Science degree in Computational Media and a Master of Science degree in Digital Media.  The program will consist of 158 total hours of course work for these two degrees with 122 towards the CM program and 36 hours towards the DM program. During their fourth year, students will count six (6) hours of graduate work for both graduate and undergraduate credit that will be in Digital Media and will count towards two 4000 level LMC courses (6 hours) in their undergraduate degree. Fourth-year undergraduates will take the graduate courses on the same schedule as those entering the regular MS program, and in the second year of their curriculum would follow the usual MS curriculum.  During the summer term after their fourth year, students will participate in an approved internship program.
