The digital world of the World Wide Web is a new medium presenting us with new challenges. The CMC program at UAH was created to meet these challenges.
What is a cognate, precisely? It is an interdisciplinary minor across multiple fields of study. As such, computer mediated communications at UAH is a fusion of courses within the fields of graphic design, communication arts, and information technology. Rather than focusing upon simply learning how to build a web page, the web cognate emphasizes the enduring principles of web site development that can be drawn from each of these three fields. It teaches more than just how to put information online. It teaches how to integrate all elements of web design into the creation of a site that is superior in all facets of design, communication, and usability.
