Associate of applied science degree: Graphic Design

Associate of Applied Science Degree:  Graphic Design  (514)

The Associate of Applied Science degree in Graphic Design teaches students how to design for print and the web. They will learn the specialized computer and design skills needed to create logos, magazine layouts, brochures, web pages, or any of the limitless design tasks graphic artists are called upon to invent. Graphic designers create the visual world of print and electronic media—from logos to books, magazines to billboards, TV to the Internet. Every package and product, every ad, every sign, every web page, every DVD and every game was designed by someone schooled in the tools and techniques of Graphic Design. Graduates may seek employment as production artists, layout artists, entry-level graphic designers or in-house graphic artists.
