About

BFA Graphic Design Graduates attain professional skills in the visual, conceptual, developmental, interactive and technical dimensions of graphic design. Key skills include mastery of typography and the use of visual elements; independent and self-directed command of evolving technologies, ability to conduct research and thoughtfully consider the experiences of users and audiences. Graduates must design well, with visual style, flexibility and originality; they should be attentive to the integrity and appropriateness of design solutions.
Graduates must demonstrate an understanding of the historical and theoretical contexts of graphic design. In addition to considering its traditional relationship to communications theory and the fine arts, graduates must confront graphic design's (reflexive) influence upon contemporary culture, and its role in promoting diversity, inclusion, sustainability and other humane values.
Graduates should attain a level of visual and cultural literacy commensurate with a professional role in creating and disseminating content in the public sphere. Graduates must learn to think broadly across disciplines, to practice auto-didactic learning, and to conduct effective research. Their skills may be applied to myriad different types of content, and their future clients may look to them for broadly informed perspectives.
Graduates must demonstrate an ability to clearly express both verbally and in writing the meanings of design decisions. They must be prepared to serve and inform the client, the project and the public capably, ethically and responsibly.
Graduates must experience the practical application of design strategies and design skills, in directed projects, collaborations and internships which are conducted to address actual needs and benefit real audiences.
