Digital Production for Entertainment Certificate:
This program is intended for those who have a background in visual or traditional art and desire a career as a digital artist in the game, broadcast or film industries. Our curriculum is geared towards the development of artistic and technical skills by profession and not by industry. Therefore, we teach you to be an accomplished artist first. Your skills are then applicable to all industries of entertainment. As these industries converge and the level of quality improves, both the fundamental and specialized skills attained are transferable.

Entertainment Design & Digital Production Certificate:
The Entertainment Design and Digital Production Program is a full-time 3-year curriculum blending one year of foundation art and design classes with two years of digital production. This program is for students who desire a career as a digital artist in the game, broadcast or film industries but have limited traditional art skills. As with all of Gnomon's programs, the goal is to create well-rounded, production ready artists who are versed in digital and traditional skills.

Maya Fast Track Certificate:
The Maya Fast Track program is designed primarily for individuals who already have a solid understanding of 3D concepts.
