In the quarter system, the journalism curriculum was sequence-based, divided into media-specific areas of specialty.
Students who wanted to combine elements from various sequences could apply to create a customized program of study, the "Carr Van Anda."
Applicants had to have junior-status, with a minumum 3.0 GPA in all work.
All core journalism courses were required of CVA students, along with all of the non-journalism coursework.
In the new semesters-based program of study, students can select from a much wider array of courses as part of the regular curriculum.
The faculty elected to keep the "Carr Van Anda" option, but students likely will be able to achieve a similar level of flexibility when it comes to selecting their courses.
However, students can talk with their advisers about possible advantages in pursuing a Carr Van Anda program.
