CURRICULUM MAP & SKETCHES

IMG_2399.JPG

After many years of a discipline-based structure, our students asked for more flexibility when navigating our major's curriculum. Our current structure is designed to stay up-to-date with a professional field that has shown growing demand for overlapping skillsets between disciplines.

​

We have created a collection discipline-based Curriculum Sketches in order to give you a better understanding of how you can design your own pathway. These Sketches are simply that...sketches that might provide a framework for your own design.
