This undergraduate certificate is for students who are not pursuing the BFA in illustration but want to add illustration to their main degree. It is run by the Department of Art, Design and Art History in the Leigh Gerdine College of Fine Arts, on the St. Louis campus.
Coursework centres on drawing as the base for the whole illustration process, from first concepts to finished pieces. Students handle materials and methods used in the field and develop an individual creative voice.
The certificate has core courses in figure drawing and illustration, plus electives drawn from painting, printmaking, digital drawing, design and animation. It must accompany a qualifying art, design or animation degree, and it cannot be earned by students in the BFA illustration emphasis.
Webster University lists this program in its 2026-2027 catalog. Prospective students should read the catalog page for the full course list, special requirements and campus locations, and then apply online through the university's admission office.
