Web and graphic design courses in North Carolina

10 web and graphic design programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

8 schools offer these web and graphic design programs, and North Carolina has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Web developers create and maintain websites, and digital designers develop and test a site's layout, functions and navigation so it's easy to use. Education ranges from a high school diploma to a bachelor's degree, and you may not need a specific credential if you can show your abilities through earlier work or projects.1

In North Carolina, 2 of the 10 programs take students without a high school diploma and 8 ask for a diploma or equivalent.

By kind, the 10 programs here are web development certificate or course (4 programs), graphic design certificate or course (2 programs), graphic design or digital media (associate degree, 2 programs) and web design or development (associate degree, 2 programs).

How to pay for web and graphic design courses in North Carolina

WIOA funding can pay for web and graphic design courses in North Carolina

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Financial aid and grants for web and graphic design courses

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.67

GI Bill for web and graphic design courses

Veterans, service members and qualified dependents can use GI Bill benefits for non-college training programs.8

The program list does not show which programs accept these. Ask the school.

Where the North Carolina web and graphic design program numbers come from

Which North Carolina web and graphic design programs are on this list?

These are the web and graphic design programs North Carolina approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what North Carolina offers.

How the prices and results of North Carolina web and graphic design programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
