Degrees and Certificates

studentsOur courses, certificates, and degrees are designed for students interested in building a career in digital media/internet services. Hobbyists are welcome; however, we need to say that there needs to be a serious commitment of time and effort from students as it is from our faculty. Transfer students form a smaller, yet growing percentage of our population. Many of our students have previously earned degrees and are updating their technical qualifications. Re-entry students with little to no college are also welcome and typically excel in the program. We encourage students from all cultural, ethnic, and economic backgrounds to attend. We like to work with students from all ages and from underrepresented groups. We are a small, professional department of educators who like to have fun, but who take digital media education seriously. This is an industry of constant change, and we want to partner with you in exploring, learning, creating, innovating, and developing quality web, CD, DVD, and other digital media products. You may decide to earn a certificate, a degree, or attend a few courses at your leisure.
