Prepare for high-demand positions in the field of interactive media, UX and UI design. In specialized courses learn advanced graphic design and user experience and interface concepts as they apply to web and interactive design in today's digital world.

The online Post-baccalaureate Certificate in Interactive Media Design provides professionals, artists and educators the opportunity to advance their interactive media design knowledge and skills. Students complete four graduate-level studio art courses which address the front-end design and production of websites and UX/UI. The certificate emphasizes visual communication, UX/UI concepts, graphic design theories and practices within the applied context of website and interactive media design.

Front-end refers to the design and production of website interfaces as opposed to back-end web design and programming. This certificate does not include such topics as WWW database management, internet infrastructure, systems development, client/server-side programming, network architecture or game design.

All required courses for the certificate are delivered online, permitting students from remote locations to complete the certificate without requiring on-campus attendance.
