Master of Science
Computer Graphics and Motion Technology
Visualization Concentration
This concentration focuses on graphics/animation for displaying, explaining and analyzing scientific and medical data. Visualization displays numerical data in an accurate, high-density and compact form in which patterns are revealed, emphasized and clearly communicated. Students focus on the mathematics, statistics and programming techniques necessary to analyze and display such data. At the same time students are given a firm grounding in the aesthetics that allow them to build visualizations that communicate effectively and beautifully. Learn more about

Course Requirements
Prerequisite Phase
The goal of the prerequisite phase is to give students the background necessary for starting the graduate program. These prerequisite phase requirements can be fulfilled in one of three ways:
- The student takes the course and earns a grade of B- or higher
- The student takes a Graduate Assessment Exam (GAE) to test out of the course
- The faculty advisor waives the course because of equivalent academic background or work experience.
All students are blocked from enrolling in Graduate Phase courses prior to completing their prerequisites. Students must submit an online Change of Status request (through myCDM) when the Prerequisite Phase is completed to inform the Student Services offices that the block can be removed.
