- I have been assigned the task of considering a new interdisciplinary
- major in graphics involving computer science and art (not graphic arts).
-
- If you have a program at your local university that comes close to
- this description I would greatly appreciate learning about it via e-mail.
-
- Detailed information and comments greatfully accepted. Even a department
- and university name would help, so I can request a brochure.
-
- E-mail to:
- mullins@enterprise.macs.ysu.edu or fc137501@ysub.ysu.edu
-
- I will summarize results.

- For those willing to comment regardless of the existance of a local
- program: :-)

- Our Art department has initiated a (soon to be held) discussion on a
- joint major in graphics. They already _use_ PCs for some of their
- classes. They are apparently interested in learning more about the
- nuts & bolts (programming/math). I assume they will also be interested
- in available software packages & platforms. We are primarily a PC
- and mainframe campus, but we also have Macs, X-terms, and some SPARCs
- (mostly in faculty offices). We are also connected to the Ohio
- Super Computer Center.
-
- So, what do you think of a joint major? What should it consist of?
- What service courses would be essential for Art to run their own major?
