2019-2020 Catalog

Computer Graphics Master, Certificate

Certificate—26 credit hours

Curriculum Code 1378

This program provides students with contemporary training and experience in the emerging and high-employment field of computer graphics imagery (CGI). Engineering and architectural firms employ skilled workers in computer graphics to create photo-realistic renderings, two and three-dimensional computer animations, and three-dimensional models for manufacturers, designers, customers and builders. Computer graphics imagery technologies focus on the possible relationships between parts, objects, people and environments. Computer-generated models are matched to real-world data in order to build simulations. Computer graphic architectural modeling tools allow designers to visualize space and generate interactive and virtual environments at the part, system and environment levels.
