Changes to Majors on Common Course Matrix : Journalism & Media Arts - Media Arts
ASU - currently has no degree, but wondered if the two BA's in Film (Film & Media Studies, and Film & Media Production) would be appropriate as a shared major.
NAU - Remove BS in Advertising and BS in Public Relations
UA - Change BA & BFA in Media Arts to BA & BFA in Film & Television  
Changes to Common Course Matrices : Journalism Matrix

Media & Society column
ASU - add JMC 110 (JMC 110 or MCO 120)
Dine - Add ENG 241 with a footnote that it is not equivalent to ASU & UA. (Both ASU & NAU will review the course to determine if they will accept it.)
EAC - Add MDC 102
Pima - remove footnote since additional ASU course will be added as an option

Public Speaking (Elective) column
Dine - add ENG 121

Add new Common Course column called Photojournalism
ASU - DEC(JMC)
NAU - JLS 284
UA - JOUR 203
Pima - JRN 280
(There are currently two other courses equivalent to UA's JOUR 203, but according to UA they will need to be modified to keep the equivalency. While there would only be one community college with an equivalent course, the other community college reps felt that having this available as a common course would be impetus to offer equivalent courses, or to modify current course to be equivalent to NAU & UA.)

Media Arts Matrix

Intro to Television & Radio column
ASU - remove MCO 200
Pima - add JRN 260

Intro to Production
AWC - add footnote that course is not a direct equivalent to UA and students may have to take the req'd UA course.
MCCCD - remove TCM 180 or 180AA and replace with TMC 135.
Pima - remove DAR 125 and replace with DAR 225.

Public Speaking column
Dine - add ENG 121

Unless ASU adds a shared major, the ASU row should be removed so as not to confuse students.
