Essense
of the E-Crit Major
Founded
in 1999, Electronic Critique is a unique, multidisciplinary degree
program designed for students who want to understand and contribute
to the impact of technology on our culture. Students learn to combine
critical thinking with technical skills in digital media, including
Web development, video game design, video production, software engineering,
and animation. They accomplish this by combining courses in English,
Computer Information Systems, Communications, and Architectural
Design, among others. Electronic Critique is one of the few tech-oriented
programs in North America with a Liberal Arts focus.
