I am currently pursuing an undergrad 'Integrated Studies' degree. You submit a list of what you think a degree should be (example: daycare), and if the dean approves it you'll get an Integrated Studies degree in daycare or whatever. My own will be Integrated Studies in Computer-Integrated Multimedia. Nebraska has some nice equipment, but it's spread all over campus, so I have to take special-topics courses in various areas, ranging from the TV broadcasting department to the Architecture deparetment. I wouldn't recommend Nebraska unless we get the big grant we're asking for to set up a Center for Multimedia Communication. I graduate in mid-1992, so by then we may have it, but in the meantime I scrounge a lot for any equipment I can get a hold of. If you can't get in to MIT, this might be a route for you. Not necessarily at Nebraska, but anywhere the professors and administration will help you. willdye@typhoon.unl.edu
