We had to cancel EGS 3100 twice days before it was scheduled to start due to lack of staffing. Digital Media needs a class we can schedule, credential faculty to teach, and staff. DIG 3702 will be the new prerequisite for DIG 4138C and it will replace EGS 3100 on the recommended pathways for the Digital Media BAS degree. Both EGS 3100 and DIG 3702 will remain electives within the Digital Media program. No teach out plan is needed. EGS 3100 will remain an option for Digital Media BAS students and will still be offered by the engineering department.
