Repairs to the Science Building are now complete, and that facility will reopen on Tuesday, January 17, in time for the first day of the Spring 2023 semester. However, repairs to the Visual Arts Building are still ongoing and the VAB will remain closed for the first two weeks of the spring semester. Unfortunately, this will necessitate the movement of some courses to Grossnickle Hall or moved to remote status. If you are scheduled for a class in the VAB during the period of January 17-27, please check with your instructor whether it will occur in person or via remote modality.
Art—B.F.A. Degree, Concentration in Graphic Design
About This Degree
In this rapidly changing field of contemporary graphic design, our program offers professional skills combined with exposure to cultural issues relevant to the field. Through a range of tiered courses, students acquire abilities in the essentials of design, a love of typography, current software usage, best practices in design for screens, devices and printed matter. An exploration of current aspects of human-centered design and ethical questions encourage good citizenship with a larger perspective. Understanding historical precedents gives students a context for their own design work, while examining the relationship between design and commerce prepares them for their career ahead. Students are encouraged students to develop ongoing cultural-awareness, individual areas of stylistic proclivities and personal design-passions, thus opening avenues for ongoing self-development and professional achievement.
