About the Program
The bachelor of arts in Art and Design develops skills in the field of graphic design. Courses in fine art, composition, design theory, and current media techniques will provide students with a strong foundation for success in visual communication and cultural literacy. A required internship gives students real-world experiences and potential employment opportunities.
Required Art History courses strengthen both the studio and design components by developing the student's artistic vocabulary. Highly qualified faculty and small class sizes provide individualized instruction that fosters enrichment and artistic growth.
