BS / MS in Computational Media / Digital Media
Program Overview
This program is a combination of both a Bachelor of Science degree in Computational Media and a Master of Science degree in Digital Media. The program will consist of 158 total hours of course work for these two degrees with 122 towards the CM program and 36 hours towards the DM program. Students will take 12 hours of graduate courses for their undergraduate curriculum and will count 6 hours of graduate work for both graduate and undergraduate credit that will be in Digital Media and will count towards the CM advanced Studio and Capstone requirements. Fourth-year undergraduates will take the graduate courses on the same schedule as those entering the regular MS program, and in the second year of their curriculum would follow the usual MS curriculum. During the summer term after their fourth year, students will participate in an approved internship program.
For more direction, please see the suggested schedule.
Requirements
Students who want to pursue the five-year BS/MS combination in CM and DM must apply to the school of LCC after completing at least 75 hours of work towards the CM degree. Applicants should have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5.
How to apply
After a student completes 75 hours of work towards the CM degree, they will need to provide 1) an application to the program, 2) a letter of recommendation from a CM faculty member, and 3) a brief statement of purpose essay (1 page) describing their CM experience and their goals for the MS program. Application packets should be directed to Matthew McIntyre in Suite 340 in the Skiles Building.
