The objective of the Full Sail University’s Graphic Design BS degree program is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the field of design – from print publishing to interface design and more. Students sharpen their eye for aesthetics through projects, critiques, and the study of popular culture. In addition to technical proficiency and creative development, their education will help them to hone real-world skills such as media integration, advertising, and branding. Ongoing portfolio courses provide students with opportunities to build tangible projects that showcase their talents, and integrated career development modules help strengthen their professional skills. The Media Design MFA degree program provides an in-depth look at design and the role it plays in bridging the gap between the creative studio and the boardroom. Students study the concepts that drive successful design campaigns – including research, client communications, and team dynamics. Coursework focused on psychological and motivational theories also deepen their understanding of consumers and trends.
