New Jersey Institute of Technology 1 B.A. in Digital Design The Digital Design curriculum is separated into two tracks: Entertainment Track, and Interactive Media/Production Track. Students will select their track of study in the second year and follow their chosen track to completion. Please refer to the appropriate track for proper curriculum requirements. Graduation is contingent upon the successful completion of the prescribed courses within the select track of the 15-credit Digital Design curriculum and the maintenance of both a minimum overall cumulative GPA of 2.0 and a minimum 2.0 GPA for all major-specific requirements. Students are required to maintain an annual studio average of 2.0 or higher to advance to the next studio level each succeeding year and to complete the final 4 th -year studio course sequence. This curriculum represents the maximum number of credits per semester for which a student is advised to register. A full-time credit load is 12 credits. First-year students are placed in a curriculum that positions them for success which may result in additional time needed to complete curriculum requirements. Continuing students should consult with their academic advisor to determine the appropriate credit load.
