GRAPHIC DESIGN

curriculum | courses | student gallery

Courses in both two and three dimensional design are required in the core curriculum of the Bachelor of Fine Arts and BA in Art Education degrees. These three beginning design courses along with core drawing courses provide an early foundation in art techniques and principles. A BFA with a concentration in Graphic Design prepares a student for a career as a design professional.

The program encompasses the development of computer skills, fluency in the language of visual design, presentation and self-promotion techniques that are invaluable to anyone working in the industry. A very successful feature of the Graphic Design program is a six credit hour internship with an approved advertising agency, printer, in house art dept. or other appropriate business. This 6 week internship provides a transition from classroom to workplace and results in job offers in a majority of cases. Our graduates currently occupy positions throughout the southeast and across the country working as art directors, illustrators, production artists and account executives.
