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.
