== Upper Division Classes ==
[note: I took the liberty of numbering the courses. This makes it easier to represent paths (see below). I also renamed the courses to "Upper Division" rather than "Year Three" - Ron]

Media:

* 1. narrative
* 2. video
* 3. advanced video
* 4. animation
* 5. game design

* 6. interface design
Advanced interface design beginning with the advent of visual communications and moving type to interfaces for desktop, mobile, and large-scale applications.
* 7. interaction design(2) methods
Examines concepts of design practice and design methods for interaction designers. Students will study a range of design methods for idea generation, requirements gathering, conceptualization, prototyping, and evaluation in a project setting.
* 8. interactive prototypes
Develops programming, scripting, physical computing, and form-making skills for developing combined software, and hardware prototype versions of interactive products and systems.
* 9. design evaluation
Examines evaluation concepts and methods for interaction designers. Analyzes the range of evaluation approaches including informal evaluation, usability, field studies, heuristics, critique and discursive evaluation.
* 10. participatory design
Students learn participatory design as a method for analysis and gathering requirements for design situations that provides an in-depth contextual understanding of the design and enables end-users as designers. Examines the conceptual frameworks for understanding human action and context in organizational design situations. This course assigns small teams to design with industry, non-profit, and government organizations.
* 11. body interface
* 12. installation + performance
* 13. kinesthetic space

* 14. info viz/graphics for viz
* 15. knowledge + info architectures
* 16. HCI 2
* 17. software engineering
* 18. computational media
* 19. authoring environments
* 20. videogame design & programming

* 21. culture
