UC Irvine Cross-Campus Collaboration Delivers New Certificate Program

May 11, 2020 – Irvine, CA – UC Irvine’s top ranking Paul Merage School of Business and national leader Claire Trevor School of the Arts are pleased to announce a new, online professional development offering, Certificate in Presentation Design. Geared towards professionals in the digital world, the Certificate in Presentation Design is a practical business program designed for all fields that are required to conceptualize, design, refine and execute top-notch presentations to groups both small and large. Over the course of eight weeks, individuals will become experts in this exciting new field of creative practice that combines storytelling, public speaking and graphic design.

“Being able to clearly and forcefully articulate a project or research area is frequently the difference between its success or failure. Having professional-level expertise at designing and delivering a presentation is the surest way to guarantee that it will succeed,” said Stephen Barker, Dean of the Claire Trevor School of the Arts. “The strategic combination of UCI’s Claire Trevor School of the Arts and The Paul Merage School of Business, through this new Certificate in Presentation Design Program, provides a powerful platform for developing those vital skills.”

The Certificate in Presentation Design program leverages faculty, industry experts and guest speakers from the business, design and arts industry.
