Achievement

The University (ASU) asked us to use our IGERT graduate experience to develop a large-scale undergraduate curriculum in digital culture. ASU helped us secure a private gift for funding the program that will launch in August 2010 and will enroll 400 students by 2013. The curriculum is outcome based. Forty faculty members from arts, design, engineering and sciences (many of them members of our IGERT) collaborated in the creation of a list of key proficiencies that are common across the contributing disciplines and career paths related to digital culture. All digital culture courses will use these proficiencies as prerequisites and outcomes. Students can thus structure education paths combining courses across 15 participating disciplines while creating networks of proficiencies related to their career interests. Students can enroll in meta-disciplinary digital culture BA or BS degrees as well as in concentrations in the Bachelor's degrees of the 15 participating disciplines.
