Graphic Design Program
Program Description
The Graphic Design major (formerly Advertising Design) not only prepares students for a variety of careers in advertising and graphic design, but also encourages involvement in a community of design where fellow students foster collaboration, civic engagment and community contribution. Students employ professional practices and experience simultaneous projects and deadlines,gaining self-reliance, self motivation and time management skills that lead to careers. Through a rigorous investigation of concepts, typography, relationships between text and image, critical thinking and visual communication theory, students develop a wide range of valueable skills. Additionally, students explore all artistic disciplines for inspiration and apply ideas from those to their problem-solving process.
