Department of Digital Media Design and Animation And Comic Creative Industries Design Program Integration Proposal!!
Due to intense competition among the Digital Media Design Department, Business Design Department, and Product Design Department for students in the Bachelor's Degree Program in Animation Creative Design, a situation of internal competition has arisen within the university. Additionally, in recent years, there has been a decline in the number of applicants, admissions, and registered students, leading to a shortage in enrollment. Facing challenging circumstances in student recruitment, a careful assessment has led to the proposal for the 114th academic year to merge with the Digital Media Design Department, forming the "Department of Digital Media Design."
Both the "Department of Digital Media Design" and the "Bachelor's Degree Program in Animation Creative Design" conducted two online hearings separately on January 22 and 23 of the 113th academic year. During these sessions, thorough explanations and communications took place directly with faculty and students. If students were unable to participate in the online hearings, they are encouraged to download the presentation for self-review. For any questions or concerns, please visit the office to consult with the secretary or department chair. Thank you.
