What is the Communication Design program?

The communication design program provides education and training in visual communications through traditional and digital graphic design course offerings. 

What will I learn?

The communication design program teaches how to solve graphic design problems by combining text and images to communicate messages to an audience. Students will learn to research, produce, and critique design projects. Creating a comprehensive portfolio of professional design projects is the final goal of the degree.

What can I do with this course of study?

Today’s Communication Design is part art and part technology. The objective of graphic design is to tailor specific messages and deliver them to target audiences, working with text and images that are static, moving, or interactive. Good Communication Design defines an audience, attracts attention, conveys a message, and motivates viewers to action.

What's special about the program?

The program’s facilities include three computer classrooms supported by Mac multimedia workstations and large format color printers. Qualified students may be eligible for scholarships and internship opportunities. Many students have also won local, national, and international design competitions.

Students will learn to research, produce, and critique design projects.
