*DIGC majors who double-major in computer science, or students interested in a focus on computer science may replace CSCI/DIGC 158 with CSCI 161, with permission of the program director.
**Students may also select additional courses from Cultural Approaches and Advanced Production to meet their elective requirement as well as one additional course from Foundational Design and Math. In addition, any new courses in DIGC which may be offered in the course of the academic year which are not included in this list at the time of catalog publication, may be used as elective credit in the major.
