Your interdisciplinary learning will encompass both information technology and communications design. You will create software and use it in creative and artistic processes. This provides the opportunity for students primarily interested in design to also understand underlying technical issues, and students primarily interested in technology to also understand design as an important part of any technology project.
The Major Proseminar will give you an integrated view of the TMAC major and familiarize you with its requirements. With faculty guidance to help you clarify your talents and interests and see how they relate to the fields, you will identify and articulate personal, professional, and social goals. You will also use technology to explore communication skills in the workplace and start career planning.
You will develop an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) in the Major ProSeminar. It will outline course modules, collaborative projects, fieldwork, seminars, and independent work that you will include as you prepare for your Senior Capstone project. You will document your completion of the ILP through presentation of a portfolio.
Your Senior Capstone will involve you in a yearlong sequence of learning experiences that results in a creative design or technology project that showcases an achievement of professional level work in your area of specialization.
