Graphic Design Major
Graphic Design Major
Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science
The Graphic Design major prepares the student for a career in graphic design. The program provides basic and advanced instruction in the techniques, technology and critical-thinking strategies necessary for the field of graphic design. Internships in Graphic Design are strongly recommended, but it is not possible to guarantee placement. Therefore, a senior project may be necessary to supplement the internship experience. The degree is granted upon completion of 125 credits as specified on page 42 of the catalog (40 credits must be in 3000-or 4000- level courses).
B.A. option requires achieving 1002-level competency in an approved foreign language. See pages 40 - 41 of the catalog.
