Continuing Education
During the summer months, four departments in UIW’s School of Media and Design – 3D Animation and Game Design, the Department of Graphic Design, the Juren Sullivan Center for Fashion Management, and the Department of Interior Design – offer opportunities for members of the community to develop their skills in the relevant areas. The summer Continuing Education program invites adults ages 18 and older to take part in accelerated courses designed to develop skills and concept fluency.
Courses are $30 per hour (with exceptions noted in course descriptions) plus any applicable fees and the cost of required supplies. Participants do not receive college credit for these courses.
