Expand your talents and your opportunities
A love for design can help you begin—or advance—a career in Graphic Design. You will explore the many different areas of this exciting field as you work on projects that will help you develop the skills that today’s employers are searching for.

The Graphic Design Certificate program is a great way for beginners to learn the foundations of graphic design and for working professionals to continue developing their skills. You’ll learn how to communicate messages through typography, layout, image, and color using industry-standard software for print and multimedia design, including the Adobe Suite. You’ll also benefit from professors with professional design experience.
