Purpose

The field of graphic design has seen a recent explosion of career opportunities, from education to business and entertainment. The Media Design major provides students with the flexibility to tailor their degree to their career interests.

All Media Design students will complete the Media Design core, which offers introductory courses in drawing, digital publishing, digital image manipulation and photography. This will allow students to survey the various media available to them and select a specialty area of study. All Media Design students will also complete a senior project; produce a portfolio to be reviewed by professional staff; and network within the field, while gaining real world experience, with an internship. The General Education requirements provide a foundation in English, fine arts and the social sciences.
