Online

Both the Certificate and the Associate Degree can be completed entirely online. All the Core Classes are offered online at least once per year, and some are scheduled every semester. Many of the Electives are offered online, as well. Out of the 23 classes students can choose from to fulfill their 3 electives, online students have a variety from which they can choose.

Earn College Credits

Through the Academy of Media Arts Web Design Program you can earn college credits that will help you earn a degree -- credits that will also transfer to other colleges and universities as electives. Private training companies can't guarantee that your time spent or your CEU credits will mean anything to an employer or other colleges.

Prepare to Transfer

Many graphic design and visual arts programs at 4-year universities are highly competitive and only allow entrance through portfolio review. The work you will complete in the Academy of Media Arts Web Design Program can help you build a diverse portfolio of digital imaging, computer illustration, web design, and fine art. You will have the opportunity to learn basic design principles that will help to make each item in your portfolio a quality sample of work and, thus, more competitive for entrance into the university of your choice.
