Interdisciplinary or Ad Hoc Program in Communication Arts

Program Aims

To meet a student’s unique educational objectives that cannot be satisfied within existing programs, an Ad Hoc major combines studies in the several areas of the Communications Arts and related disciplines. Consequently, if an established program does not meet a student’s needs, a special program can be developed.

This course of study is designed with an academic advisor and can include courses outside the department. Sample Ad Hoc majors include: Advertising/Art; Multimedia Journalism/English; Digital Media and Broadcast Production/ Multimedia Journalism.
