DTC Certification Requirements, Pullman Campus
Certification can take place at any point during the semester. To apply for certification a student must have the following: 24 completed hours; a minimum 2.2 gpa; a sample digital text in web authoring, animation, video production, and/or graphic design; and a written statement of purpose (approximately 500-750 words) explaining how the DTC major supports the student’s career goals. This statement should also describe how the sample digital text was produced and justify the text's overall design choices. Certification applications will be reviewed by a committee that includes the DTC Director, Assistant Director, and one DTC instructor or a graduate student teaching DTC courses. Transfer students with 55 or more hours should complete the certification requirements within two semesters. All students should certify before earning 90 hours.
