The latest edition of CUNY Matters, the monthly newsletter for the City University of New
York, showcases the BIC program among the "dozens of new and innovative graduate
programs being offered to better prepare students for careers in the emerging
areas of technology, medicine, public health, advertising, film, and digital
media." As the largest the largest urban university in the country and
third largest university system in the nation (behind SUNY and California State
University system), CUNY has over 800 graduate degree programs in its 24
colleges.
The article (seen here http://www.cuny.edu/news/publications/cm-winter14.pdf on
page six and seven) features photos of BIC students making final presentations for
foundation course Idea Development. It also includes commentary from Program
Director Nancy Tag and BIC students: “We’re living in a visual society
and the industry is changing very quickly, and so is the way people consume
information,” said Nancy R. Tag, program director of BIC. “We needed to create
a program that brings all the disciplines together, so that creative [people]
understand the data [personnel] in this data-driven world.”
Cassondra Bazelow, a student in the BIC masters
program, said she appreciates the “real world” experience in the curriculum.
Industry professionals assisted in creating the curriculum and also serve as
adjunct faculty, guest lecturers and project advisers.
“Between
the people instructing the courses and the guest lecturers that they invite,
the students at BIC have access to the knowledge of working professionals
relevant in their fields,” she said.
