3. GDES courses will increase COM enrollment as new Graphic Design AA transfer classes will be available at COM.
4. MMST Design courses are cross listed with GDES, which will increase COM enrollment for new AS transfer classes in MMST.
5. ART History 101, 102, and 103 courses will increase as result of the requirements for the new GDES AA and AA-T programs.
6. The ART 112, 113, and130 courses will increase as result of the requirements for the new GDES AA and AA-T programs.
