Changes to the Design Major Fall 2024

Students who declare their major in Design starting from Fall 2024 will follow the curriculum of the Design Fact Sheet that is currently posted (approved 4/26/2024).

The following changes have been made from the previous curriculum:

  • DESN 214 is no longer a required course
  • DESN 222 is now a required course. It was previously listed as DESN 286
  • DESN 193 has a name change from Intro to Digital Animation to Motion Graphics I
  • DESN 290 has a name change from Motion Graphics to Motion Graphics II

Students who declared their major in Design before Fall 2024 will continue to follow the previous curriculum.

  • If you have taken DESN 193 – Intro to Digital Animation, you do not need to retake it as Motion Graphics I
  • If you have taken DESN 290 – Motion Graphics, you do not need to retake it as Motion Graphics II
  • If you have taken DESN 286 – Interaction Design, you do not need to take DESN 222 – Interaction Design.
  • If you have taken DESN 193, DESN 286, or DESN 290 already, taking them again under their new names/codes will count as a repeated course and replace your previous grade and credits for the class.
  • If you have not taken DESN 286 – Interaction Design AND you have taken DESN 214 – Web Design I, you do not need to take DESN 222 – Interaction Design. If you would like to take Interaction Design, it will count towards your Design Electives.
