Our Dynamic Media Institute (DMI) graduate postbaccalaureate program will allow you to explore the role of dynamic media in communication design in one year.
DMI鈥檚 Postbaccalaureate certificate is a one-year, 24 to 29-credit, immersive educational program that gives students the opportunity to focus on the role and new uses of dynamic media in communication design. Upon successful completion, students earn a graduate postbaccalaureate certificate in design, and many apply to continue onto the MFA program, transferring up to 6 credits from the postbaccalaureate course of study.
