The Graphic Design Associate’s Degree program prepares students for entry-level positions in a variety of digital desktop and print production environments. The program begins with the core skills of design theory, digital photography, and computer graphics. Students receive hands-on, project-oriented instruction in typography, graphic design, web design, desktop publishing, and pre-press technology. A wide variety of industry standard software will be used. Students will also learn how to effectively integrate graphic design for web delivery.
Students create projects individually or in teams, with each student assuming responsibility for the production process. Student projects will be deployed via printed media, CD-ROM, or web server. A portfolio of each student’s projects will be developed throughout the entire program. Off-campus cooperative work experience may also be obtained during the sixth quarter.
Students will graduate with an Associate in Science Degree in Graphic Design.
