Program Description

Program Overview

The Interactive Media Management one-year graduate certificate program responds to a growing need within the design industry for a new skill set––one that crosses the traditional disciplinary boundaries of advertising, industrial, graphic, and new media design.

Full Description

The Interactive Media Management one-year graduate certificate program empowers you with the latest real-time interactive tools and technologies. As these technologies are integrated into public and commercial settings like museums and retail environments, as well as education and medical settings, you need to have knowledge of interface design, information visualization, and virtual spaces. As a designer, it's your mission to create friendly systems and interfaces that dramatically improve the lives of consumers and sellers alike.

Combining design education with software instruction and hands-on workshops, this program uses existing and emerging display technologies to create interactive design strategies. You'll also learn about best-practice examples and real-world models. We'll guide you as you generate a unique design strategy and test it through an applied project, with the goal of developing a fully functional, interactive demonstration prototype ready to share with a public audience.

General Computer Requirements

  • Base model MacBook pro is recommended
  • 16 gig of RAM
  • 1Tb of hard drive space is recommended
