About the Department
In 1992, the Polytechnic Law under Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) Law (1992) upgraded polytechnic education in Ghana to tertiary status. This gave rise to the running of Higher National Diploma (HND) in Commercial Arts Programmes in Takoradi Polytechnic. The HND in Commercial Art Programmes underwent many changes until programmes/courses as Options emerged or created out some departments.
