The Computer Graphic Art (CART) program prepares students to pursue careers in the field of computer-generated imagery, including web design, multimedia production, print design and publication, and 3D animation. Graduates find work as web designers, graphic designers, multimedia specialists, 3D animators, and game creators. In addition to layout, illustration, and cinematic skills, students learn professional production values and practices. As of Fall 2006, the CART program offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.
This new 128 hour program requires a 83 hour major with elective hours suggested in optional emphasis areas of the CART program as determined by the student and his or her advisor.
The following is a list of courses that consist of the courses in three areas: Basic CART Core, Track Courses, and Advanced CART Core.
Students will choose one concentration - Graphic Design (Web/Print) or 3D Animation.
