Example class path:

As a Freshman, students begin by enrolling in the entry level multimedia course (MM 113: Introduction to Multimedia), which will take them through the fundamental software that they will use throughout their career in the multimedia program. During Freshman and Sophomore years students will take other pre-requisite courses in the Art and Computer Science departments to help prepare themselves for their upper level courses. Art 105: 2-Dimensional Design is one of the first pre-requirement courses students will take. This class teaches the core concepts behind composition, color theory, and design, preparing students to take later Art and web design courses. By taking all of the pre-requirement courses, students can build foundations that will support their endeavors in the multimedia field.
