Helen3 asks,"Does anyone know what the status is on whether Graphic Design and Digital Design are going to merge? ?

Response: yes, graphic design and digital design do have a lot of overlap. They both take a number of courses in layout and topography and use computers a lot, although graphic design is more "paper" oriented and more 2D oriented. I know that they encourage digital designers to take a few graphic design courses and vice versa as well.

There was some discussion of a merger,but I haven't seen anything in the works of late.

What is more imminent is that UC will eventually go to a "semester" system. They are working on the logistics of switching by 2013 or even earlier.

As an aside,when you do go down for the Cincinnatus Scholarship competition, go to both Skyline Chile and Graeters Ice Cream. They give you a real sense of "Cincinnati" and are both great experiences.

Also, the Cincinnatus guarantees a minimum payout of $2,000 per year (instate) and $5,000 per year for out-of-state as long as :

1. You do 30 hours a year of community service
2. You maintain a 3.25. GPA.
