Three New Bachelor's Degrees
Debut at C.W. Post
BFA in Computer Art
The School of Visual and Performing Arts is meeting the 21st Century head
on with its new B.F.A. in Computer Art. The program, which received approval
from New York State Education Department in 1996, is devoted exclusively
to creating art on a computer and offers a professional training program
which combines new technological skills with traditional art and graphic
design knowledge.
Students of the program may take courses in a variety of new technological
media including digital imaging, graphic design, multimedia on the Internet,
and desktop video.
BFA in Dance Studies
A new bachelor of fine arts degree in Dance Studies also debuted in 1996.
Performance dance that includes ballet, modern, tap, jazz and choreography
is a primary focus of the program, but students are exposed to other areas
that will enable them to pursue non-performance careers such as teaching,
research, costume design and lighting design for dance. C.W. Post also offers
a minor in dance and installed a new dance floor in its Theater, Film and
Dance building this summer.
To be eligible for the program, students must audition and be interviewed
by faculty from the Department of Theatre, Film and Dance. Ten students
per year will be accepted into the program.
New Bachelor's Degree for the Information Age
In a typical day most of us will do some of these things: watch TV for the
latest news, read a newspaper, search the Internet for information, drive
a car or use a cash machine. Every one of these activities relies on the
industry known as Information Transfer to locate, evaluate, organize, store
and then quickly retrieve and display information from a variety of sources.
Today's employers need information professionals who can understand, use
and lead effective information management in their organizations. To meet
the needs of this growing profession, the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island
University is now one of few universities in the country to offer a bachelor
of science degree in Information Transfer. This degree is offered through
the Palmer School of Library and Information Science.
This degree prepares students for careers as computer support staff, software
applications advisors and trainers, publishing research assistants and graphic
artists, data retrieval specialists, information researchers and analysts,
information technical assistants, library assistants, and network services
and technology planners.
