The Graphic Design program is designed to prepare students for careers in the rapidly growing and evolving field of graphic design. Students will learn the skills and techniques required of graphic designers and commercial artists. Strong emphasis is placed on developing the students’ individual talents, skills and interests.

 

In addition to graphic design courses, traditional studio art classes are required for the development of basic techniques. Interdisciplinary studies are strongly encouraged – for example with multimedia, art history, studio art, computer information systems or other computer courses. Coursework in the area of multimedia, including animation and television and video production, are highly recommended.

 

Students will participate in college art exhibits, and, in order to prepare for job placement and meeting representatives of the industry, a comprehensive portfolio will be required at the completion of the program. An internship relating to the students’ interests and skills is also required.
