Elective courses
Students must complete two elective courses from the School of Computing and Information and two elective courses from the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences. Courses offering a depth of knowledge in pre-identified areas of interest are clustered together to provide a guide for students; Students are not required to follow nor declare a specific track.
Capstone sequence
The Capstone sequence allows students to design and implement a signature project to complete the major. Students start with the design project (Project 1) and complete the sequence with the implementation project (Project 2) in consultation with their advisors. Students seeking Independent Study or Directed Study options for the capstone sequence should work with their advisors to ensure that the work done in these courses will complete the sequence.
Additional Information
Writing (W) requirement: Dietrich School students must complete at least one W-course in the major. ENGCMP 0610 fulfills this requirement.
Grade requirements: A letter grade of C or better is required in each of the core and upper level courses that are to count toward the major. The elective courses for the major must also be completed with a grade of C or better. A minimum GPA of 2.0 in all departmental courses taken is required for graduation. If a D+ or lower is earned in an elective course for the major but is not repeated, the course will be used to calculate the overall GPA but will not be counted toward the 40 credits required for the major.
Satisfactory/No Credit option: No courses that count toward the major may be taken on an S/NC basis.
Advising: Digital Narrative and Interactive Design is a joint undergraduate degree between the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Computing and Information. Students enrolled in each school are advised by advisors within that school.
