Though not fine artists, students need to be skilled in drawing and painting. Media creation and distribution is ever changing and so must be the knowledge and skills of the graphic designer. This program is not designed to transfer to a four-year institution. Any student wishing to transfer to a four-year college is urged to consult with a counselor. The certificate programs are intended to provide the student with foundation skills to gain immediate employment in the specialty, or continue in the AAS program.
