The Master of Design programs in Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography offer specialized one-year intensive tracks (180 Credits) within the same degree framework. Each pathway concentrates exclusively on its respective discipline without incorporating elements from the others. Admission to these one-year programs mandates an existing bachelor's degree in the relevant specialization. Those seeking interdisciplinary opportunities or wishing to switch disciplines may prefer the two-year Master in Communication Design (240 Credits). Specifically, the Graphic Design track requires an honors-level undergraduate degree in Graphic Design or comparable studies in Visual Communication, Communication Design, or typography.
