APRIL 17, 2019 – FORT MYERS, FLA – Students interested in the digital arts will soon have the opportunity to earn a college credit certificate (CCC) in Digital Media at Florida SouthWestern State College (FSW) beginning in the 2019 fall term.

“The Digital Media CCC is a very versatile certificate,” said Dana Roes, professor, FSW School of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. “The program will offer advanced digital arts, digital animation, web design, graphic design, sound mixing, and next year, we will introduce videogame design.”
Students will train in a new, state-of-the-art Mac lab using Adobe Creative Suite programs including Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator.
