Product Design
Due to all of the unknowns around COVID-19 restrictions, this program will be completely virtual. And although we can no longer offer college credit, it won’t diminish this exciting experience, which you can now complete from the comfort of your own home. You will develop and create artwork that will greatly enhance your college entrance portfolio that will make you stand out nationwide.
