Graphic Arts Technology, Diploma

Pending State Approval

Campus: Clinton Community College

The diploma option for the Graphic Arts Technology Program at Clinton Community College provides training for students with an interest in developing the visual components of print, web, and mobile products.

Our classes and curriculum provide the core skills necessary for employment as a designer in the Graphic Arts, Marketing and
Advertising Industries. Throughout the program a strong emphasis is placed upon detail-oriented, on-time work. From day one students are placed into a team atmosphere where they learn constructive problem-solving techniques that can be applied to the everyday problems they will face in the marketplace.

Students may earn the diploma after one year then later choose to complete the second year with more on-hands application, including an internship, to earn the AAS.
