The Certificate in New Media Publishing is for graphic designers, writers, editors, publication managers, and other communication professionals who want to do advanced design and creative work in emerging media. It's for those who want to go beyond the quick, easy, and cheap solutions to become leaders and innovators, not just trend-surfers. The Certificate in Information Design is directed to many of the same people as the Certificate in New Media Publishing, but with greater emphasis on system development and usability analysis than on media design and production. It's for professionals who wish to become information architects, project managers, and usability specialists. All four certificates require a Master of Arts, Master of Science, or a minimum of 12 graduate credits with a grade point average of 3.0.
Some certificate programs have additional requirements.
These are listed under the specific programs. You should plan to take them after completing your degree.
