Most computer science courses include a significant design project that provides an opportunity to apply the core principles of the class. Students work on practical problems with the goal to become productive in the workplace, day one. Entrepreneurship Do you see yourself as an innovator, leader, and value creator? Are you interested in starting your own business or working with exciting start-up companies? This minor seeks to accomplish this through academic courses blending the best of business theory with exposure to the best of business practice. As globalization and technological advancement lead to increasing complexity in business affairs, the Argyros School of Business and Economics strives to meet the educational needs of the next generation of business leaders. Game Development and Programming will prepare students to compete for positions in the rapidly growing areas of interactive media and game development. In addition to the games created for entertainment and educational purposes, there is an emerging genre of serious games designed to help make decisions in public policy, corporate management and health care. Our students will have the skills necessary to contribute to these emerging fields. Image Text Interface Minor is designed to allow students to work across disciplines between creative writing and graphic design to explore the relationships among image, text, and medium in creating meaning. Leadership Studies aspires to exemplify the institution s commitment to Building Character; Transforming Lives. Participants leadership capacities are expanded by blending classroom learning and theory with experiential exercises, simulations, self-assessments, case studies, field trips and retreats. It is particularly appropriate for students motivated to make a positive difference in the world through their lives and work, students who share a desire to learn to lead to serve. Public Relations/Advertising will prepare you to put your creativity to work in business, non-profits, the arts or education. Storytellers today must use the media effectively to succeed. Our complete curriculum covers all aspects of planning, creating, and executing effective communications campaigns. And, our students have the added advantage of learning to become highly effective creators of the most powerful media of our time for film, television, and the Internet. Psychology provides a comprehensive understanding of human thinking and behavior using critical reasoning and clinical experience to identify and evaluate present theoretical and empirical models of behavior and to promote the development of new models. Sociology provides the undergraduate foundation for pursuit of careers in social work, urban planning, public health, gerontology, medicine, law, criminal justice, and other fields in which knowledge of social institutions, social interaction, and the range of research techniques for studying social phenomena are needed. If you have any questions or if you feel you need help deciding which direction to take with Inter/Multidisciplinary studies, feel free to contact your academic advisor. Graphic Design Graphic design is complex combinations of words and pictures, numbers and charts, photographs and illustrations that, in order to succeed, demands the clear thinking of a particularly thoughtful individual who can orchestrate these elements so they all add up to something distinctive, or useful, or playful, or surprising, or subversive or somehow memorable. Jessica Helfand The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Graphic Design is rigorous and challenging. The program emphasizes conceptual design methods, appropriate aesthetics, history, writing development, verbal articulation, and training in technology that prepare the student to enter the graphic design profession. Students have opportunities to explore all aspects of graphic design, such as packaging, illustration, information design, advertising design, web design, multimedia design, and book design. The progress of each student is reviewed at the end of the sophomore and junior year by the graphic design faculty evaluation of student portfolios in the Guggenheim Gallery. Seniors complete a semester-long internship in the graphic design profession, as well as participate in a required portfolio review jointly sponsored by the Orange County Chapter of the AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts) and Chapman s graphic design program. Courses include numerous visiting lecturers and professionals, field trips, gallery shows and realworld client projects. Bachelor of Fine Arts GRAPHIC DESIGN The graphic design program has two 24-station Macintosh computer labs equipped with scanners, color printers, and plotters. With generous access to both the labs and the other studio spaces in the department, the student s creative life can continue 24 hours a day.

Jessica Helfand The Image Text Interface Minor represent Chapman University s emphasis on interdisciplinary, innovative, and niche programs as part of our mission. This proposal is made jointly between the English Department (Creative Writing) and the Art Department (Graphic Design). This minor addresses the need for skills in the creative industries, which contribute more than 10% to the GDP in the United States, according to a recent joint study by the OAS, Inter-American Development Bank, and British Council. The same report notes growth rates in the creative industries above the general economic growth. This expectation aligns with the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projected growth in some areas of the creative industries represented by the Image Text Interface Minors, including graphic design, web design, and writing. The ITI Minor offer our students a way to combine skills and, thereby, increase their marketability in the creative industries. The ITI Minor in Graphic Design is designed to allow students to work across disciplines to explore the relationships among image, text, and medium in creating meaning. Before enrolling in art courses, students must formally declare the associated minor, complete required prerequisites, and/or get faculty approval. A minimum of 24 credits, at least 12 of which must be upper division, are required for the ITI Minor in Graphic Design. In planning to complete this minor, students should be aware of prerequisites and also that some courses are offered only in the Fall or only in the Spring. Once you have declared the ITI Minor, select prerequisites for select art courses are waived; those automatic waivers are noted below, but most prerequisites must be fulfilled. Students majoring in Art cannot declare the ITI Minor in Graphic Design. Instead, Art majors should consider the ITI Minor in Creative Writing. All students should consider the limit for counting credits in a minor toward major requirements; at least 12 credits in the minor must not be duplicated by the major or any other minor. Students must apply for a Minor in ITI by providing eight samples of their art and/or design work and a one-page written rationale describing the student s interest in a graphic design minor. The fulltime graphic design faculty will review the application for approval. The graphic design minor is only for students majoring in another discipline at Chapman University. Before enrolling in certain courses, students have to formally be accepted and declare the associated minor to complete required prerequisites and/or get faculty approval. A minimum of 24 credits, at least 9 of which must be upper-division, are required for a Minor in ITI.

Jessica Helfand The Information Design Minor is recommended for science and business majors geared to create standards for the structuring, design and the use of task-related information. Standards for the structuring, design and use of information find their technical analogy in electronically supported information systems. Decisions concerning the necessary media mix for knowledge transfer in a given situation need to be based on task-specific user requirements. The capabilities of the media acting together in an information system depend on the depth, the breadth, the structure and the required interactivity of the information provided to support users in a task-specific way. Students will be able to design quality information and information systems by creating relationships between people and information and by providing evidence that the informa tion is accessible and usable to a measurable standard. The areas in which information designers become active may include education, health and financial services, transport, data visualization, and tourism to name a few. The minor will consist of the survey of the field s evolution and current status; its theoretical foundations, key concerns and issues, core competencies and specializations, and the technologies and societal trends that will impact the work of information in the future. Emphasis is placed on developing a strong professional identity and the process of career planning. Students must apply for a Minor in Information Design by providing eight samples of their art and/ or design work and a one-page written rationale describing the student s interest in an Information Design Minor. The faculty will review the application for approval. The Information Design Minor is only for students majoring in another discipline at Chapman University. Before enrolling in certain courses, students have to formally be accepted and declare the associated minor to complete required prerequisites and/or get faculty approval. A minimum of 24 credits, at least 9 of which must be upperdivision, are required for a Minor Information Design.
