The mission of the Graphic Design Communication program is to cultivate design strategists with an innovative spirit and superior critical thinking skills applicable to a diversity of human needs. Consistent with the University’s overall mission to provide professional training with a rigorous Liberal Arts and Business core, the curriculum fosters an appreciation for design as a cultural craft with a relevant historical background and a rapidly evolving future that includes multiple disciplines. Culminating in a BS degree, the program is conceptually based on the belief that designers’ highest value is to be able to generate ideas — that intellectual property is his/her creative capital. Real-world assignments are featured to engender practical, active, hands-on learning. The curriculum emphasizes traditional design skills, and the ability to create and develop visual and verbal responses to complex visual communication problems across media. Contact
