ADV Online Awards of Completion

The School of Advertising offeres three Online Awards of Completion for those students who want to add new skills without enrolling in a degree program. Award of Completion and personal enrichment students may have these courses credited toward a degree at the Academy of Art University, pending portfolio review and approval by the department director. Degree-seeking students must satisfy existing degree requirements.

All classes are three units each unless otherwise noted.

Please Note: Online Awards of Completion require that all courses must be taken online.
