Interdisciplinary Studies Major

Bachelor of Science

Environmental Computing, Imaging and Visualization

My major is composed of three academic study areas and a fourth area which is my major-related work experience during college at Humboldt State University in Arcata, California.

The overall theme is the interaction of monitoring, control and general data acquisition computer systems, the environment and humans

That is about 110 units. Throw in another seventy of general ed classes, math, a bunch of Chinese culture and language studies and you are just about ready to begin the interesting part in graduate school. There we will see if we can find some art, some wisdom within and build something beautiful for the future.
