A Note on Prerequisites

The New Media program is highly organized and structured to ensure the best possible results on behalf of our students. All listed prerequisites for each course are required. Each course is designed to assume thorough skills and experience accrued in previous New Media department courses. Prerequisite design and production skill sets are expected to be retained and applied in all assignments, which are evaluated and graded on this basis.

Waivers or concurrencies may be granted only upon submission of work produced which achieves the equivalent level expected at the end of all prerequisite courses.

This important midpoint course for Computer Arts New Media majors provides training in the aesthetics, presentation, materials, required elements and production of a New Media-based portfolio. Students will present their projects and assignments produced in prerequisite courses for critique and discussion. Students will then redo, update, revise and improve their existing body of work and produce additional projects as required to increase the range and variety of creative and technical proficiency samples available. Finally, students will produce a professional portfolio with a consistent identity and marketing system as a foundation for further development and refinement in their remaining new media courses.
