About the Program
 The Computer Graphics Technology Bachelor of Science program prepares students for industrial careers in the design, development and management of digital products, services, and applications that utilizes computer graphics technology. Through conceptual and project-based learning activities students develop professional, technical and creative skills that can be applied across multiple disciplines. Upon completion of a major core curriculum, students select a series of upper-division courses that advances their skills and knowledge as it relates to a chosen career pathway.
With nearly every industry benefiting from the use of computer graphics, graduates pursue careers in a variety of industrial sectors. The program prepares graduates to pursue job opportunities in interactive design, user experience design, user interface design, augmented/virtual reality, and web development.
The Computer Graphics Technology Bachelor of Science program is accredited by the Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE). See the ATMAE website for details.

Additional Information and Guidelines
Note 1: Selective: an upper-division (30000-40000) Computer Graphics Technology (CGT) course listed within the official Purdue University Northwest course catalog or approved by the Purdue Northwest Faculty Senate that is not a required course in this plan of study. Selective courses are offered at the complete discretion of full-time CGT faculty on a term-by-term basis. See the program advisor for a list of current selective course offerings.
Note 2: Management Selective: any course in Management (MGMT) or Organizational Leadership and Supervision (OLS) pre-approved by full-time CGT faculty. See the program advisor for a list of pre-approved management selective courses.
Note 3: Electives: any course (or sequence of courses) in Business (BUSM), Marketing (MKG), Communications (COM), Computer Science (CS), Information Systems (JSM), or Art and Design (AD) pre-approved by full-time CGT faculty. CGT 30900: Internship in CGT may be taken in place of an elective where noted. Also, specific Information Technology and Security (ITS) courses may also be taken with pre-approval from the full-time CGT faculty. See the program advisor for a list of pre-approved elective courses.
Note 4: A semester grade of A, B, C or P is required. If a semester grade other than A, B, C or P is recorded, the course must be retaken before progressing to the next course in sequence. Incompletes and withdraws do not warrant a passing grade. May be repeated only once due to an unsatisfactory or non-passing (W, AW, WF, NP, D or F) grade. Students must successfully earn a passing semester grade for the course on the second attempt to remain enrolled in the program.
