Program Notes:
1. The program requirements are determined by the date a student officially
becomes a CIT major.
2. A student who is not qualified to take at least ENGL 10400 and MA 14700
courses is considered deficient and cannot take any ITS courses until the
deficiency is removed.
3. A grade of a “C”or better is required in each ITS major course. ITS courses in
which lower grades have been received must be retaken before progressing
to the next course in the sequence. An incomplete is not considered a passing
grade.
4. Only two ITS courses may be repeated because of an unsatisfactory (D or F)
grade. These courses may only be repeated one time.
5. No student shall choose the pass/not pass option for an ITS course. Advisor
agreement is required for any other course.
6. Students must meet the University requirements for freshman experience,
general education, and experiential learning prior to graduation. Students will
utilize general education selective with advisor consent in the category listed.
7. It is expected that students taking 20000, 30000, 40000 level courses have
taken all of the previous levels courses regardless of prerequisites.
Computer Graphics Technology (CGT)
The following are the Program Educational Objectives (PEO’s) for the
Baccalaureate Degree in Computer Graphics Technology (CGT):
Program Educational Objective 1:
The program will produce graduates that are primed for successful careers in the
disciplines associated with or related to computer graphics technology.
Program Educational Objective 2:
The program will produce graduates that will understand the overall human
context in which computer graphics technology activities take place.
Program Educational Objective 3:
The program will produce graduates that will developconceptual principles,
processes, and techniques essential to all areas of computer graphics and digital
media production.
Program Educational Objective 4:
The program will produce graduates that will work and interact, through hands-on
experiences, to design, develop, produce, and edit electronically generated imagery
using a wide range of sophisticated graphical tools and techniques.
Program Educational Objective 5:
The program will produce graduates that are capable of working within a team
framework to accomplish a common computer graphics goal and communicate
with a range of audiences.
Program Educational Objective 6:
The program will produce graduates that are life-long learners who engage within
communities for which Computer Graphics can serve.
Program Educational Objective 7:
The program will produce graduates that are computer graphics technologists
with applied research, critical thinking, and problem solving skills in the evolving
field of computer graphics.
The Computer Graphics Technology program is designed to prepare students
for employment as graphics technicians. Students work in computer labs developing
their graphics skills, techniques, concepts, and management ability through
individual and team-based projects.
Graduates of this program work as graphics practitioners to produce engineering
drawings, technical manuals, multimedia products, technical illustrations, and
web pages.
The courses in the curriculum developskills and knowledge critical to all
areas of computer graphics specialization. They embrace the teaching of ten (10)
core behaviors including
