Graphic Technology
What is Computer Graphics Technology?
Graphics Technology is designed for students who are interested in pursuing a career in the fields of commercial art, computer graphics, photography, or electronic media. Instruction focuses on commercial art, desktop publishing, advertisement design, web design, sign-making, computer-aided sign production, digital marketing, and computer graphics.
Applied Academics
Graphics Technology is an approved NYS Department of Education Career and Technical Education (CTE) Program. Our curriculum is aligned to a nationally recognized assessment and has passed a rigorous review by representatives of the industry, the community, component schools, and the SEO Association.
Through the integration of academics in each of our approved CTE programs, students enrolled in the two-year Graphics Technology program can earn CTE credit that will satisfy core academic requirements in composition and communication, integrated/specialized math, and integrated/specialized science, leading to a Regents Diploma. Grades are reported to component districts quarterly along with a final course grade for credit distribution.
