To most effectively use the skills developed in the Media and Information Technology major, a content area is needed. Therefore, each student will complete either: (a) another academic major; or (b) an academic minor (or concentration) and take a course in Statistics3 (Quantitative Reasoning Area).

¹Or CMPS 144

²Also GE NSCI requirement

³MATH 204 or any other statistics course that fits into GE QUAN. If the cognate is a second major in the sciences, any GE QUAN is acceptable.

⁴Also GE Science elective.

⁵PHIL 214 Computers and Ethics or equivalent course in Philosophy or Theology/Religious Studies area.

⁶The selection of a First Year Seminar is likely to fulfill requirements both for the First Year Seminar and a General Education Requirement. Thus, the First Year Seminar will not add to the total credits for the semester. Talk with your advisor if you have any questions.

*An approved 3-credit EP Foundation Course may be substituted for COMM 100 and C/IL 102 -C/IL 104 . In this case, the total needed for graduation in this major may be reduced. Consult with your advisor if you have questions.
