The program offers students a rigorous curriculum characterized by a high-level of problem-based learning that encourages risk-taking and critical-thinking, immerses students in real-world scenarios, includes academic experiences and professional activities outside of the classroom, and allows for significant student-student and student-faculty collaboration. As students prepare for a career, they develop a research-based design process and produce a portfolio. This major is designed to prepare students for professional practice and graduate study in graphic design, advertising, marketing communications, electronic or print publishing, Web and interactive design, digital imaging, motion graphics, or other related fields. Students may choose a track in interactive design, motion graphics, photography, or general visual communication design.
