Common Questions
Do I need to complete AS degree core courses first before completing a DMT certificate?
No . . . not at all. You are not required to complete the Digital Media Technology core requirements prior to enrolling in a certificate program.
Our certificate options were designed as stackable credentials toward an associate degree. This means that a student who completes a certificate program in Digital Media at Polk State may reuse all those courses toward the completion of a related associate degree (conditions apply). Additionally, a certificate may also stand independently as a credential for professionals with existing degrees who wish to gain additional skills in one of the concentrations we offer.
For instance, a person with a bachelor’s degree in communication who wish to gain video editing skills may enroll in our Digital Video Production certificate and complete the courses required. Certificate programs may be completed in two semesters (one year) if a student completes two or three courses each semester.
