<p>Helen3 asks,"Does anyone know what the status is on whether Graphic Design and Digital Design are going to merge? ?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>There was some discussion of a merger,but I haven’t seen anything in the works of late.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 :</p>
<ol>
<li>You do 30 hours a year of community service</li>
<li>You maintain a 3.25. GPA.</li>
</ol>
