Digital Design, Post-Baccalaureate Certificate
The Digital Design Post-Baccalaureate Certificate (PBC) is designed for individuals who have already earned a Bachelor's degree. Both PBCs align with the two tracks within the Digital Design program; Graphic Design and Interactive UX/UI Design. These certificates are comprised of all of the coursework required for an undergraduate major, without required courses in other subjects.
Matriculation Blocks
The blocks show the order in which coursework must be taken. All courses within each block must be completed before you may move on to the next block. For example, all courses in Block 1 must be completed before any courses may be taken in Block 2, and so on. Courses within a block may be taken at the same time.
Lower-Level and Upper-Level Reviews
Due to the highly demanding nature of this program, students are assessed for knowledge and preparedness for further courses after both Block 2 and Block 4. The reviews include a portfolio review and a questionnaire, both of them evaluated and scored by faculty. A score of 80 or higher constitutes passing the review, which means that the student is ready to proceed in the program. Students who do not pass may resubmit their portfolios the following semester; a letter will be provided to each student with specific recommendations for how to improve their work, which may include taking additional leveling classes. Students who fail the review twice may be asked to take a semester of leave to work on a portfolio, or to change majors.
