Anyone have good examples of schools doing something different and interesting with how they list their majors offered? I am thinking more on the marketing side, not so much about course catalogs. So…Continue

Scott Smith posted a discussionMajor/Minor Listing
Anyone have good examples of schools doing something different and interesting with how they list their majors offered? I am thinking more on the marketing side, not so much about course catalogs. So many schools (my school is guilty of this too) simply show a super long list of majors in alphabetical order. Many schools do this without any second thought to the emotional impact of the excitement and joy of choosing your major.I know many schools may have their reasons for how it is, but there…See More
Scott Smith posted a discussionMenu Icons
Is there yet a semi-agreed upon best practice for an icon symbolizing "You are about to tap/click on an icon to open a menu"?
