Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Departments and Programs

Graphic design is a form of visual communication vital to every industry and institution. Graphic designers create images and typography for digital and print media as well as computer-generated works of art. The interdisciplinary curriculum combines courses in Fine Arts, Communications, and Creative Writing that encourage experimentation with corporate, commercial, and personal applications of graphic expression.
