Program Overview

Step into the forefront of design innovation with our Interactive Media Management one-year graduate certificate program. This cutting-edge program equips you with the latest real-time interactive tools and technologies essential for creating impactful user experiences in diverse settings, including museums, retail environments, education and health care.

As a designer, you'll master interface design, information visualization and virtual spaces, crafting user-friendly systems that enhance the lives of consumers and sellers alike. Our curriculum combines design education with software instruction and hands-on workshops, leveraging existing and emerging display technologies to develop interactive design strategies.

You'll explore best-practice examples and real-world models, and under our guidance, you'll generate a unique design strategy and test it through an applied project. By the end of the program, you'll have developed a fully functional, interactive demonstration prototype ready to share with a public audience. Join us to transform your passion for design into a career that pushes the boundaries of interactive media.
