ahh thank you for answering my questions! that makes me feel a little better about switching. who are your teachers for SMAD 101? and if i'm taking SMAD 101 as a junior, and end get into the program when i apply in jan, would it take me longer to complete the major? or would i be able to catch up with everyone else? just curious, i don't mind staying another semester haha. thanks again for answering my questions!
No prob! :D And thanks, I love your icon and all your posts [especially FOB posts]. My teachers are Dr. George Johnson and Dr. Roger Soenksen, funny old dudes who really enjoy SMAD who've been teaching for quite some time. I'm not sure about the catching up part, but I think you could! Some classes are restricted to junior and seniors (so more spots in required classes could be available to you). I do know for sure that you have to have 78 hours outside of SMAD and 36 within SMAD. A lot of it depends on the professors though, some classes allow you to skip ahead if you get their permission to take their class(es) if you don't have the pre/co-requisite(s). The major classes for Web Design are split up into Interactive Design for the Web I and Interactive Design for the Web II; both of which I think you can get into w/o pre-requisite classes with the professors permission. It may take longer only because there are required classes that no one can take unless already admitted (201, 202, and 301 plus 400, but that's for seniors only). I can totally ask one of my professors for you if you want.
