The Graphic Design Technology Certificate program consists of specialized courses. It has two basic goals: first, to upgrade the job performance of the working graphic designer, and second, to initiate the professional career development of those entering the graphic design field. A one-year certificate program provides for formal academic preparation without loss of credit if an associate of applied science degree is desired.
