Digital Media, Bachelor of Science

The digital media major requires students to complete 50 credits. Digital media majors are required to present a portfolio of their work and have a conference with the digital media faculty after the completion or in the semester of completion of 15 credits with the DMDA prefix. It is recommended that a student signs up for portfolio review prior to the end of their sophomore year or following their first semester of their junior year if they are a transfer student. If a student fails the Midway Digital Media Portfolio Review, he or she will have one more opportunity to resubmit their portfolio for review the following semester. Digital media majors may also select to complete a group of electives focusing on a specific area in the digital media field. Students who complete the digital media major are eligible to receive the bachelor of science degree.
