What
will this program do for me?
We are living in an information society, surrounded by an ever-increasing
number of words, pictures and sounds. The role of the graphic designer
is to form this information in a meaningful way, communicating ideas
in the most effective manner possible. The Graphic Design emphasis was
created to provide students with a strong foundation in the major aspects
of the design process. Students develop visualization skills, learn
the elements of communication design and then apply this knowledge to
a wide range of design problems.
What
kind of job can I get once I complete the program?
We suggest that students majoring in Graphic Design continue their education
in order to receive a BFA from a four-year program.
How
much can I earn in this career?
A graduate of our program who has not completed a BFA can expect to
earn a starting wage of $10 per hour and up to $25 per hour after two
years of work. Further salary will depend upon education and abilities.
