New Scripps College of Communication online graduate certificate to teach media tools
OHIO鈥檚 Scripps College of Communication has added a new graduate credential to its suite of online 鈥渟tackable鈥� certificates.
The Media Tools for Professional Communication certificate is designed for professionals from all backgrounds and experience levels and teaches fundamental skills in a variety of digital storytelling platforms.
Scripps College Dean Scott Titsworth said the ability to utilize digital storytelling tools has become an essential element for professionals across industries.
鈥淯nless you have a background in media, you likely haven鈥檛 learned how to produce a podcast or create a professional-grade video package,鈥� Titsworth said. 鈥淭his certificate will provide the foundation people need to start creating the kind of product employers and clients expect.鈥�
The 12-credit hour certificate can be completed alone or combined with another certificate and capstone experience to 鈥渟tack鈥� toward the online master of communication degree. Courses are seven weeks long and focus on three main short-form storytelling platforms: video production, animation and podcasting.
Applications are accepted for all entry terms throughout the year. No GRE is required for admission and a 5% scholarship is available for alumni and military service members.
