Here are the options within the VISA program and the major requirements for each. Since our scope delves into the many options for undergraduate degree completion, we began examining the degree requirements. As design students we noted that Visual Arts does not necessarily run in the same manner as design. To further examine their specific degree requirements, we began building a small and more concise area to our wiki for easy access as the project goes on. In examining the York and Visual Arts methods of displaying information we also discovered many inconsistencies in the display of information. We hope to correct these in our own design.
