COURSE CHANGES

Second Read 9/24/25

  • GDSN 351 : Quickfire Course
    • Number change from 265
      • This change from a 200-level to a 300-level course will assist with Graphic Design BFA student degree completion in a timely manner. It does so by reducing the number of independent studies that will be offered and taken by students who need 1 to 2 credits in their advanced studio area as a result of the varying scale of credits that the GDSN 498 internship course offers. As a result, it helps GDSN students receive the required credits needed in the advanced studio area. In previous semesters, these quick-fire courses did not count toward a student’s graphic design requirements; the course counted as an elective. By changing the class to a 300-level course, the quick-fire courses will count towards the student’s degree and major completion, helping complete the required credits in a timely manner, as requested by the Provost’s office.
