Graphic design is a dynamic and rapidly changing profession in the modern economy. Designers produce work for both print and digital mediums across industries like advertising, packaging, publishing, and brand development.
The University of Arizona's BFA program in graphic design equips students with core competencies to address modern communication needs through visual solutions. Students develop crucial abilities in idea generation, visual media experimentation, and mastery of creative software tools. Graduates complete the program with a professional portfolio demonstrating their design capabilities across multiple platforms.
Students enjoy access to specialized facilities featuring iMac workstations, Adobe Creative Cloud, large-format Epson printers, Wacom drawing tablets, digital photography equipment, and other resources.
While not mandatory, most students invest in a laptop by their second year. For those who do, we suggest a MacBook Pro with minimum specifications of 8GB RAM and 512GB storage capacity.
