Advanced Web Design Certificate Program

Looking to advance your career as a Web designer or Flash designer? The advanced Web Design certificate program adds a new layer of interactivity to your portfolio.

Program Overview

Advanced Certificates in Web Design train you in coding, software, and foundation design skills. Choose one or more concentrations that focus on specific fields of interactive design or visual arts. As you work through advanced courses, each hands-on project polishes your skills in design with the goal of portfolio-quality work.

You can add one or more concentrations to a Web Design Professional Certificate to build your Advanced Certificate. Recommended concentrations for the Web Design program are shown below, but you may choose from our complete list or build your own custom concentration.

How It Works

The Web Design Advanced Certificate program begins with seven core classes. You then complete one or more concentrations, which typically consist of three or four courses. At the end of your advanced program, you'll participate in a faculty-led portfolio review that carefully examines your Web design work against your career goals.
