Cert in Graphic Communications

The Certificate in Digital Graphic Design offers a focused set of courses in visual communication and digital media production. Foundation classes cover photo, graphic, and video editing along with the principles of graphic design. Students then build skills in typography and digital media in a studio course centered on hands-on project work. Electives let students choose from print typography, generative AI fluency, narrative illustration, illustration for brand identity, drawing, and digital media. Combining required and elective courses completes the certificate. Students who want a credential in visual design can use these courses as a structured starting point for portfolio work. The required courses establish a base in editing software and design principles before learners move into elective studio work. Electives in illustration, drawing, and generative AI fluency let students tailor their focus within the certificate. Required courses and electives together total 15 credits.
