General Education Course Advice

A course sequence plan is available for completing the Communications Technology (CT) Program in four years: 4-year plan for Web Design & Development     4-year plan for Television Production

ENG 125 is a co/pre-requisite to the introductory major coursework (CT 101 and CT 201), and should be taken in the first semester.

Any FA STUDIO (FA 150, FA 152, FA 155, FA 264, or FA 381) course is the prerequisite to the major course FA 284, and should be taken in the first semester. Majors are specifically encouraged to take FA 150 2D Visual Design or FA 381 Photography I (Photography I is an introductory fine arts course despite being at the 300 level).

All other General Education/Pathways requirements maybe taken at the leisure of the student, but should be completed by the end of a student’s junior year, allowing the student to focus on their internship and final project.
