The Bachelor of Fine Arts in the Graphic Design program is designed for those who wish to work professionally as graphic designers and/or pursue a graduate degree.
Graphic design is much more than a visual solution but rather a creative process for solving problems. That's the approach the Department of Art and Design takes as Graphic Design students learn to use art and technology to convey ideas. Besides the graphic design curriculum, class options range from interactive design to book arts. Students also have access to four graphic design computer labs that are equipped with state-of-the-art Apple computers and software.
