Graphic Design

The Bachelor of Design is a professional degree for students seeking careers in the exciting and cutting-edge field of graphic and interactive design. We provide students with the tools, skills and knowledge for creative expression through the latest design technologies. As a B.Des. student, you achieve professional competencies in design and gain experience in graphic design, web, interactive and mobile design, UI/UX, new media, motion graphics and more to prepare for a career launch or an advanced degree like M.Des., MFA and D.Des.

The B.Des. curriculum gives you opportunities for internships and client-based projects to model professional practices and techniques which gives our graduates an edge in the professional workforce.

What our B.Des. looks like:

• After admission to the University, B.Des. students begin foundation studies in design in their freshman year;
• Following their successful completion, students take sophomore design classes to learn and practice foundational content in design;
• At the conclusion of the freshman year, students undergo the B.Des. Freshman Review to assure their professional development meets our program’s elevated standards;
• Juniors and seniors take a variety of advanced classes in graphic and interactive design;
• Students must meet minimum progress requirements at each level;
• In their senior year, students develop a capstone experience resulting in finalizing their Design Portfolio and the senior show.
