You are bombarded with images. Graphic Design is everywhere from the graphics on your favorite cereal box to the designs on your snowboard, or the logo on your favorite pair of sneakers. It is a major part of this website, your textbooks, newspapers and the brochures you receive in the mail. Today, Graphic Design consists of traditional careers in Graphic Design and the newer career paths in the areas often referred to as New Media. Bringing together images and text to move, to sell, to identify, to empower, graphic design is as old as cave paintings and as new as tomorrow.

An accelerated program, the Bachelor of Arts Degree can be completed in as little as three years. This year round program is comprised of six eight-week terms, during which a student usually takes one core design class paired with one general education course.

At its most basic level, graphic design is a creative process that combines the visual arts and technology to communicate ideas. It begins with a message that, in the hands of a talented graphic designer, is transformed into visual communication that transcends mere words and pictures. By controlling color, type, movement, symbols, and images, the graphic designer creates and manages the production of visuals designed to inform and persuade a specific audience.
