The Desktop Publishing Certificate is intended for those seeking entry-level positions as well as those currently employed who desire to enhance their job skills.

Emphasis is placed upon the acquisition of results-oriented career business and industry skills.

An individual, with or without a college degree, with the goal of acquiring or improving computer desktop publishing application skills, will accomplish that goal in this certificate program.

Application courses for the certificate are based on a combination of the Macintosh and Windows operating system environments. Students will be encouraged to develop a "cross-platform" mastery.

Required courses that cover skills a student already has may be replaced with other CDTP courses at the discretion of the assistant dean or a desktop publishing professor.

An applicant must complete 14 credits at JCCC.
