We will consider the critical practices of looking, historicizing and interpreting that have accompanied this ‘visual turn’. This interdisciplinary course explores the rise of visual media, communication and information, within the context of a broad cultural shift away from the verbal and textual toward the visual, which has taken place since the advent of photography and cinema in the late 19th century, through the birth of television, to the present proliferation of digital media worldwide. Below we have provided sample curricula for certificates in the different majors offered at PCA. A minimum of 50% of credits must be completed in the area of the major. 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. Students must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours for the one-year certificate program. Working side-by-side with our degree students, certificate students have access to all studio facilities, services and partnerships that the school has to offer. These programs emphasize skill development and provide a solid foundation in the process, technology, and language of art and design. 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. 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. ![]() 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. ![]()
