The Media Arts: Web Design Certificate of Achievement provides a specific coursework in enabling the creation of visually rich websites with dynamic interfaces for a wide range of purposes. The certificate is ideal for students wishing to bring additional competencies to their workplace; to enhance their employability; or to seek entrepreneurial opportunities.
The proposed Certificate of Achievement offered in the Media Arts: Graphic Design program is expected to sustain an average of 4-5 completers annually based on the average number of Web Design Certificate of Accomplishment earners in this program over the last 5 years. Courses and course names have been updated based on new trends in the industry. As the Certificate is promoted on the website and in our brochures, that number will continue to grow.
