Graphic Communications (GRC)

Course Naming Changes as of May 2003
see also: history of GRC Courses

Changes in numbering, titles, credits and status of GRC and former GA courses now within the Computer Graphics Program.

Course Descriptions -- brief explanation of the scope of each course
Course Outlines -- structure of course content
Course Outcomes -- what students will be able to do at the end of the course
Software Taught / Used by Course -- which applications are taught in which courses

The CHANGES listed below marked in RED are a result of several factors

  • State-mandated Common Course Numbering of similar courses offered at different institutions within the Nevada University and Community College System (making it easier to transfer credits).
  • Merger of the Commercial Art Program (GA courses) with the Computer Graphics Program (GRC course) to form the new Computer Graphics Design Program.
  • Some courses were eliminated because of updating curriculum or merging with other courses.
