   Ten years ago, maybe it made sense. Or, for adult education as a "catch up with technology" training course, it makes sense. But for most college students, "new media" is the only media they know.

   I agree with you Brian. It is the college students that are usually the first to embrace the "New Media". It makes more sense to make it a part of all the areas of studies instead of individualizing it.

   while I agree with you in principle, its usually the parents that this kind of stuff appeals to (specifically labeling studies). The school should probably mention it in quotation marks at least to give parents the peace of mind they are looking for.

   splitting off the bleeding edge as its own function is silly. as soon as something changes, all this stuff that's new media now becomes old media. yes, you need to keep up with progress, but "keeping up" hardly deserves its own major or cxo.
