Program Information

The B.F.A. in Graphic Design offers a concentrated and structured program in the study of contemporary graphic design, including intensive training in graphic design, studio art, art history and museum studies. This major is designed to prepare students not only to become graphic designers, but artists, who illustrate, photograph, sculpt, paint, print, and create computer and digital images. Students devote a majority of their junior year to a range of study in graphic design theory and practices in both print as well as multimedia technologies. During this study, they engage in the preparation of an individual print and electronic portfolio, leaving their senior year open for specialized study in any area of graphic design or studio art.
