The Department of Art offers two 18-credit certificates: one in Graphic Design and one in Photography. These immersive learning experiences reflect the goals of the Department to produce artists who can effectively communicate ideas, as well as its objective of teaching technique in conjunction with the critical study of these fields.
The requirements for the Graphic Design and Photography Certificates are as follows:
- Register as a student in the Certificate program.
- Maintain a minimum grade of “C” in all courses.
- Complete all requirements within five years. Please note that credits from other institutions are not transferable.
The Certificate in Photography provides students with hands-on experience in both traditional and digital photography, in addition to a solid grounding in the history of this contemporary art form. It is excellent preparation for anyone considering the baccalaureate degree in Photography and New Media, as well as those seeking admission to graduate programs in Photography or related fields.
