Art + Design Programs

Graphic design is the aesthetic arrangement of type and image in order to inform, educate, persuade or sell. Graphic designers plan and produce visual solutions to client problems within the constraints of time, budget, and technology.

Through student-centered inquiry and practice in visual communication, this program develops students into professional image-makers. Students explore a variety of photographic formats, including 35mm, medium format, and 4×5 view cameras, and acquire experience in black-and-white, color, alternative, and digital imaging processes.

The Associate in Fine Arts (AFA) in Art – Studio concentrates on painting and drawing and is designed to prepare students for transfer into a four-year Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) program.

The Art + Design Foundations Certificate (ADFC) is a 30-credit, studio-based curriculum, which includes 2D design, 3D design, drawing, color theory, art history, digital art, art electives, and general education.
