Art Major - Graphic Design Emphasis
The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Graphic Design is
a professional degree which focuses on intensive work in art and design supported by a program of general
studies. This degree provides a foundation for the
student; to develop strategies to solve communication
problems and design effective communication products.
Graphic design surrounds us: websites, signage, books,
advertisements, labels, packaging, symbols, magazines,
posters, interactive DVDs. Graphic design is the study
of effective visual communication and the art of presenting
information in an engaging way to a specific audience.
Graphic design as a discipline has a rich history, yet
it is always firmly embedded in contemporary culture,
business practices, and current technology. Students who
graduate with a BFA in Graphic Design at SUU will create a professional portfolio that showcases
their work in both print and interactive design.
Courses focusing on branding, web and interactivity,
print publications and packaging are just a few of
the classes in a project-based curriculum.
Emphasis is placed on real-world problem-solving, while allowing room for experimentation and growth for each student.
