As a Graphics Major - become an artist/designer by developing and refining your own style. Learn how to communicate through the graphic arts to meet the needs of your clients. Work with the latest digital hardware and software in our Graphics Lab to achieve professional levels in state of the art graphics applications such as Photoshop CS 2 and Illustrator CS 2. After learning foundation design and communication skills, choose the graphics field you want to specialize in, whether it's print or exciting new digital media such as web design, 3-D graphics or motion graphics.

Traditional studio courses such as design, drawing, printmaking and sculpture add to your visual vocabulary and make your work standout from the typical computer generated imagery we see today. Learn the path from computer to the printed page and use our print facilities to produce quality portfolio pieces.

"Many graphic designers perform a broad range of tasks, switching media as clients and jobs demand. A designer cannot always afford to specialize because the volume of work in a specialty may not warrant it or competition may be too great."
