A.A.S. with a major in Information Management and Design
The Information Management and Design program prepares students to work in an integrated workplace of people, processes, and technologies. In response to the challenging technology-based work environment, this program requires students to become proficient in using computer technology for multifaceted workplace productivity. The program combines cutting-edge computer applications courses with additional curriculum courses for an area of expertise that is chosen by the student. Graduates also complete general education courses in writing, oral communications, economics, heritage/humanities/foreign languages, science, and mathematics. Prior to graduation, students enjoy a supervised work experience, giving them the experience that is often invaluable to land the right job.
Students may choose from four options within the Information Management and Design program to specialize their degree.
The Computer Office Technologies option prepares graduates to work in a multitasking environment utilizing skills in electronic commerce, Web authoring, project management, workplace management, information management, and employing various industry-standard office applications.
The Graphic Design option provides the concepts and skills needed to create and produce design projects such as brochures, flyers, newsletters, logos, product packaging, photo restorations and manipulations, multimedia presentations, simple illustrations, and Web sites using industry-standard techniques and graphic design applications.
The Library Information Technology option prepares graduates for paraprofessional library work. The Web Design option provides the concepts and skills needed to create and produce Web sites using industry-standard techniques using graphic and Web design applications.
The Web Design option graduates will have the ability to create and maintain professional sites and also be capable of working with other Web professionals such as programmers, network administrators and database administrators, as well as interfacing with management and clients.
Graduates may choose to sit for the Certified Administrative Professional
Exam and/or the Microsoft Office User Specialist Exam for computer office
applications certifications. Graduates from the Graphic Design option would be
prepared to sit for the Adobe Certified Expert Exam. The Library Information
Technology option courses may be used to meet Kentucky public library
