Graphic Design
BFA in Graphic Design
Do you have a definite sense for what looks good and right? Want to put that sense to use solving problems in business and in the world at large? Welcome to graphic design. Our students learn to get their message across using color, type, image, and layout. They learn how designers shape culture and how to be socially and environmentally responsible in that role. They study the history, the trends, and the impact of design on society. And when they leave, they leave with a portfolio full of work that shows what they can do.
Make a living AND make a difference.
Graphic designers are conceptual thinkers and visual synthesizers, boiling masses of information down to a virtual essence and serving it to the world in a highly digestible form. They help us notice, comprehend, and retain the information that vies for our attention at every turn.
Working artists
Our BFA in Graphic Design alumni work as graphic designers, freelance designers, retail designers, art directors, production managers, web masters, web designers, teachers, cartoonists, portrait artists, photography directors, set stylists, design firm principals, landscape designers, illustrators, writers, packaging designers, college professors, and more.
