San José State University’s Graphic Design Program was formalized in 1969 and remains the only design program in a public university in Silicon Valley. Because of its accessible location in the Bay Area, students can work with design and technology industries, professional services, and organizations that connect with broader communities. These experiences, coupled with the required internships (for BFA GD majors only), will equip students with the skills and confidence to become effective contributors to the professional graphic design world. sjsugd.org
