Drexel University’s Westphal College of Media Arts & Design offers nineteen undergraduate programs, eight graduate degree programs, one PhD program, and twenty-one minors, all predominantly studio based. The College maintains an award-winning faculty of industry practitioners who emphasize the use of the latest technologies. Westphal College is home to the Mandell Theater, the Pearlstein Gallery, Drexel’s television and radio stations, the Rudman Institute for Entertainment Industry Studies, MAD Dragon Records and Drexel’s Historic Costume Collection. The Graphic Design program prepares students to inform, persuade and entertain through the creative use of word and image, and a balance of traditional and technical artistic studies. Graphic Design students learn to conceptualize, design and produce visual communication in websites, interactive media, motion graphics, books, magazines, posters, ads, packaging, information systems, exhibition design and many other forms of media. Students develop an expansive portfolio, which, along with six-month co-op experiences, prepares them for successful employment after graduation.
