 Return to: Programs
The Graphic Design program prepares students for the demanding, ever-changing state of the visual communication arts. The successful graphic designer is able to bring creative, intellectual and technical expertise to diverse business environments, including firms involved in publishing, promotion and advertising, package and retail.
The B.A. in Graphic Design is a liberal arts degree and as such, reduces the curricular concentration in graphic design study in order to allow time for pursuit of a second strong academic interest. The B.A. is an appropriate choice for a student considering a double major or a minor in a complementary discipline such as writing or business.
