General Questions
Is there a semester-by-semester plan built for full and part-time students?
Yes. Because there are only five courses, students may complete the program in two semesters. As demand grows and we become able to offer courses more than once annually, that could be reduced to one semester.
Are there any related certificates? Nothing yet, though it will be part of a larger “Emerging Media” program
Are there specific items that must be included for specific accreditation requirements? Nothing beyond the normal program requirements
