Program of Study

The Minor in Arts and Technology combines practice and theory in digital art, internet art, web design, video, audio, multimedia and new media. It offers the student an introduction to computer-based art, design, sound and music through research and lab-based courses. The minor encourages students to be experimental in their approach to computers and the arts.

Requirements

Note: Courses used to satisfy requirements of the minor may also be used to fulfill General Education requirements. Students may apply up to nine units of transfer credit toward the minor. Students must earn a grade of C (2.0) or better in each course for the minor. At least twelve (12) units of coursework submitted for the minor must be completed at CSUSM. Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) majors or Music majors may pursue this minor if their VPA track is different from Arts and Technology and nine (9) units are mutually exclusive, i.e., not double-counted for the major and minor.
