Social Media Certificate student


This was a wonderful introduction to art. I would recommend it to anyone.
It was great to be able to get a university education on my own time. I appreciated the feedback I received and enjoyed seeing the various styles of other student artworks. Loved the instructors. Loved becoming absorbed in the work.
Visual Arts student


The office was flexible and helpful when I needed an accommodation to fast-track the program. I also liked that we always had plenty of time to complete assignments. The teachers were very nice.
Because the instructors actually work in the “real world,” they can take their experiences and make them relatable to the course materials. That helped me learn immensely.


I enjoyed being able to network and talk to people who work in a similar field to mine.
