The GAMT program offers classes that range from introductory to advanced, and are offered during day and evening timeframes. There are two levels of foundation (introductory) classes that all Graphic Arts & Media Technology majors must take before moving on to higher-level courses. GRC 100, GRC 116 and ART 101 are first level, and students with equivalent academic or work experience may skip these classes with department approval. Second level foundation classes are GRC 117 and GRC 200, which focus on merging creative skills with the various software required in print, digital and motion media. All five foundation courses are offered during Fall and Spring Semesters, but enrolling early is highly recommended, GRC/VIS class fill quickly. Not all intermediate/advanced classes are offered every semester, please check the schedule of classes or contact the department for sequencing of courses. While manual skills are important in Graphic Arts & Media Technology, most classes focus on electronic techniques using Apple computers and Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat, Dreamweaver, Animate, Premiere, Audition, After Effects and Maya 3D
