About Our Program
The Computer Graphics Technology (CGT) program is a blend of creative design, computer programming, and management. Students in the CGT program develop a sense of visual form; a mastery of computer graphics systems, concepts and tools; and an ability to communicate ideas and data in a graphical form. In order to develop problem solving and management abilities, students work on both independent and team-based projects.
