Curriculum

About This Program

The Digital Arts and Sciences (DAS) degree is a core computer science degree with special emphasis on human-centered computing, which includes art, design and computing courses that are related to digital media, interaction and communication. Graduates will be well versed in issues and solutions for basic art techniques and graphic art design as well as modeling 3D virtual worlds. The DAS graduate also will be well versed in collaborative multidisciplinary team models.

Intermediate and final class projects are centered around a balanced-team composition focusing on multimedia productions.

Department Requirements

Students must complete all critical-tracking courses with minimum grades of C in each course and the critical-tracking GPA must be 2.5 or higher. A minimum grade of C is required in all other courses that are prerequisites to a required course:

CAP 3027Introduction to Computational Media3
CDA 3101Introduction to Computer Organization3
COP 3502CProgramming Fundamentals 14
COP 3530Data Structures and Algorithm3
COP 4600Operating Systems3
COT 3100Applications of Discrete Structures3
MAS 3114Computational Linear Algebra3

In addition, CISE requires all DAS students to maintain a cumulative, upper-division and department GPA minimum of 2.0.

Students who do not meet these requirements will be placed on academic probation and will be required to prepare a probation contract with a CISE advisor. Students normally are given two terms in which to remove their deficit points or to remedy their probation status; however, students who do not satisfy the conditions of the first term of probation may be dismissed from the department.
