• Graphic designers give meaningful visual form to content in all media: from print to screen; business cards to billboards; computer interfaces to movie screens. But the most critical skill graphic designers offer is their unique ability to communicate specific messages through the artful manipulation of typography and images, systems, and structures. Their work promotes, educates, directs, informs, exposes, clarifies, beautifies, and delights.
  • The Graphic Design department at the College of Design is nationally recognized for the quality of its program, the contributions of its faculty, and the capabilities of its graduates. Students begin study in the discipline in their freshman year and matriculate through a series of core, topic, and focus studios. The unique “in-residence” classroom structure grounds an open culture of exchange that fosters creative responses to a range of topical design issues.
  • The department, college, and university extend numerous classroom and extra-curricular opportunities that help students become progressively responsible for their work, which culminates in coursework that anticipates professional practice.
