Non Degree Programs

Certificate

Certificate students have an extraordinary exposure to the art and design world of Paris and come away with new skills and experiences that will enrich their artistic vision and permanently impact their view of the world.

The intensive curriculum of the Paris College of Art certificate programs offers a non-degree option for those wishing to launch a career transition, refine a professional level design portfolio, or prepare for entering a Masters degree program. The certificate programs are ideally suited for the mature student who already has an undergraduate degree and wishes to complete his/her education with a professional art and design concentration. These programs emphasize skill development and provide a solid foundation in the process, technology, and language of art and design.

Working side-by-side with our undergraduate degree students, certificate students have access to all studio facilities, services and partnerships that the school has to offer.

Students must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours for the one-year certificate program. Studying full-time (minimum of 12 credits per semester), certificate students with the guidance of their academic advisor, develop an individualized program specifically catered to their needs and interests.
