The graphic design major presents a solid base for careers in print, interactive, and motion design, or continuing education in graduate school and other design-related fields. The graphic design curriculum begins with courses in the art and design core, which consists of theory, art history, and foundational studio disciplines. Graphic design students also take courses in typography, graphic design, printmaking, interactive design, and motion graphics design. Students focus on critical thinking and discovery through the process of problem solving to creatively solve design challenges. Experimentation in various mediums is encouraged within the image making process. Graphic Design majors must earn a final grade of C- or better in all ARTD courses.
