Enrolling Now! Visual Communications credit courses
May Term | Summer I
Three program options are currently available: the Visual Communications Associate Degree, the one-year Certificate in Visual Communications, and an Enhanced Skills Certificate.
The Associate Degree curriculum is designed to be completed in four long-term semesters and one summer session. Within the 66 credit hours are three to six hours of cooperative work experience in an area business or a design studio practicum in the campus student design studio.
The accredited, one-year Certificate in Visual Communications provides students with basic knowledge about the visual communications industry. The primary objective of the curriculum is to familiarize students with concepts, skills, tools and computer software used in the visual communication fields. The curriculum provides an introduction to the creative, conceptual, technical, interpersonal and communication skills necessary for a career within the visual communications industry.
The Enhanced Skills Certificate, attached to the Visual Communications Associate Degree, provides high school graduates in a tech prep program the opportunity to acquire advanced skills required by the industry. This Certificate is primarily for students who begin our program in their junior and senior years in high school through an affiliated tech prep high school.
