Studies. This new undergraduate degree program is
authorized by the Committee on the Undergraduate Program,
and will be reviewed in Fall 2008. In the event that
the new degree program is not approved for permanent
status by the Faculty in academic year 2008–2009, accommodations
will be made for any student enrolled in the major
prior to Fall 2008 to complete the degree program.
Students may contact the director of Comparative Media
Studies, Henry Jenkins, for more information. |
