List of Classes You Have to Take
So one of the things that I never found online when I was applying to the APOC program was that it is totally unlike the other tracks in the Communication Management master’s program because it has a very defined set of classes you have to take. The other tracks are very loosey-goosey about what you can take and when. Also, the APOC program *only* starts in the spring semester, and it’s supposed to take one calendar year, going full-time, starting in January and ending in December. However, most people are working while in this program, so in actuality, hardly anyone is going to graduate on time. I took the full load of classes the first two semesters, but will only take two of 3 courses in the fall. I’ll take the last class, the one elective, in the spring semester of 2009.
Here’s what it’s supposed to look like:
1st semester, Spring
- CMGT 534 Intro class to online communities
- CMGT 599 Intro to tech concepts
- CMGT 530 Dmitri’s class (w00t) – this is the Social dynamics class
2nd semester, Summer
- CMGT 540 Qualitative and quantitative methods
- CMGT 590 Internship (4 units)
3rd semester, Fall
- CMGT 567 Legal issues (internet policy, practice and regulation)
- CMGT 597 Final project
- and one 4-unit elective course
