The graphic designer's role has rapidly evolved from creating static images to working on interactive, dynamic projects. Design's power lies in addressing current demands while envisioning future possibilities. The BFA in Graphic Design program encourages students to investigate design techniques, workflows, materials, and terminology; expand their knowledge of diverse design applications; and personalize their learning through various electives connected to faculty research. Collaboration plays a central role. Students learn to see themselves as cultural influencers and interpreters. The program also offers hands-on creative opportunities with on-campus resources like letterpress studios, a publishing office, and a comprehensive materials center.
