    Default Help with college.

    Since Neebus is temp banned for awhile, he asked me to post this.


    I want to go to the University of Baltimore but I'm a tad lost. My mother wants me to find out what classes I'll need to take in order to get degrees in Simulation and Digital Entertainment/Interaction Design and Information Architecture. She also like to know if I'd need any credits from other courses in order to take these.

    I looked all over the site and I was really confused so I'm hoping you guys could help me out.

    The URLs are:
    http://www.ubalt.edu/template.cfm?page=747
    http://www.ubalt.edu/cla_template.cfm?page=1516

    P.S. I did try calling the head offices but I was put on hold many time so, I kinda gave up.


    Thanks.


    Oh in case you're wondering both of the courses are video game related.

    You'll need to contact the college you are attending to find out the requirements for your degree. you'll need to make live contact with an attendee to make sure you get all the information, and it's better to ask a live person rather than skimming through hundreds of pages of confusion.

    However, first you'll need to complete the core requirements. The core requirements are set forth by the state in which the college resides and mostly consists of your average Math, English, Sciences, Humainties, and other basic classes.

    You should be working on your coarse minimum for at least 1 year before you even need to start touching classes in your feild of study.

    Most would recomend you go straight for an associates first, as it ussually is most of the core requirements for all majors.

    Your best bet will be to find time to go out and visit the college you wish to attend in person and meet with the student guidence staff to find out as much info about what would be needed at that college.

    Me, I'm starting my 3rd year with only one more semester to go before I finish my basics, get an associates, and finnally transfer to a University (or technical school) (hopefully I'll find a good school in Dallas and use my associates to find a Quality Assurance job at one of the many Game Dev Firms)

    Anyway, the enrolement process of college is confusing, and it should've been started near the end of June (yes, I said June). For a first time, you're probably going to have a hard time finding classes that have not become full (as the first semester coarse ussually do fill up fast)

    Tell him not to worry about it. He'll probably get a pre major advisor who can help him figure this stuff out. And first semester classes really don't matter a whole lot.

    But to answer the questions, I'm pretty sure the links are at the bottom of the page:

    http://www.ubalt.edu/downloads/BTPSSDE082606.pdf
    http://www.ubalt.edu/cla_template.cfm?page=1521

    Kinda hate to be mean, but I find it slightly ironic that someone who plans to go into these degrees can't follow a few very obvious links.
