Graphic Design
BFA in Graphic Design
Graphic Design can convey a narrative that may compel the purchase of a product, or shape the meaning of countless types of media. At its best, graphic design can embody ideas and principles that influence decisions that impact society positively.
Our curriculum approaches graphic design from a multidisciplinary perspective of the arts and humanities which develop thinking and conceptual abilities that expand communication skills. Students engage in real-world design projects that emphasize the principles and theories of strategic problem solving with a strong commitment towards artistic quality. Within their Junior year, students are encouraged to secure an internship that puts their gained knowledge into practice.
The B.F.A. degree prepares students to enter a career within an area of specialization or to pursue further study on a graduate level. Graduates may find employment in diverse areas such as advertising firms, small businesses, corporate environments and industries, graphic design studios, museums, brand consulting companies, social media agencies, publishing companies and many others.
Students pursuing Graphic Design track often minor in Business. Speak with your faculty advisor to learn more about adding a Minor.
