The Eastern Arizona College Offers New Certificate in Graphic DesignThe Eastern Arizona College Art Department is gearing up to offer a new short-term certificate program in Graphic Design.
This 21-credit-hour certificate will prepare students for entry-level employment in an advertising agency, art agency, newspaper, printing plant, industrial in-plant printing unit and free-lance work.
The program is designed to be completed in as little as two semesters and is targeted to high school students in the Gila Institute for Technology (GIFT) program and part-time students wanting to get a jump on a career in graphic and advertising design.
