Graphic Design (Online) 
• 3 Year Advanced Diploma

This asynchronous graphic design program provides students with the same learning experience as the face-to-face program, but students can learn from their own homes, with no scheduled classes to attend. Faculty regularly interact with students via online discussions and feedback forums, with many courses offering weekly virtual office hours.

Applied Digital Graphics (Part-time) 
• Micro-credential

This part-time program teaches essential design theory and technical skills that are a useful addition to any resume. They also introduce students to graphic design as a career, with the credits earned in this micro-credential transferable to our full-time programs.
