The Graphic Design Program prepares students who want to enter the computer graphic job market with a well-rounded education that includes some transferable core courses that can be used for future employment and educational growth. It provides exposure to the fine arts components of graphics design as well as technological computer components.
The program develops skills in both print and digital media, giving students a chance to decide if they would prefer to work in Graphic Design for printing (such as magazine ads, newspapers, brochures, and other publications) or for digital end use (such as web pages, digital video, multimedia, animation, and other digitized images for viewing on a computer monitor or other screen). Students graduating the program could seek employment in a wide variety of fields including, but not limited to, Commercial and Industrial Design, Multimedia and Animation, and Graphic Design.
Students may choose to complete an Associate of Applied Science in Graphic Design or a Certificate in Graphic Design.
Students must earn a minimum grade of ‘C’ in all courses in the Recommended Program of Study.
