Graphics Certificate

The 12-credit graduate certificate is available as an option in our M.S. programs. The rapid advancement of computer graphics software for page layout, drawing, image editing, and interactive multimedia design presents communicators with a wide range of powerful design options. These technological developments create the need for communicators equally in command of words and visual imagery. The graphics program integrates design theory with in-depth studio work in design for print and electronic media including interactive multimedia design, Web design, and marketing and advertising design. In addition to graphics courses, students may pursue an internship or independent study (focused on graphics) as part of the concentration.
