The Graphic Design program provides students with a foundation in the design process and problem solving based on both traditional and contemporary practices. Graphic design involves the use of specialized software combined with creativity to create strong visual communications using type and images. In this program, students will learn the artistic design strategies and technical skills needed across print and digital media. Coursework often includes creating logos, developing collateral for various types of clients, and designing layouts for print and web productions.

This program is intended for students interested in pursuing a career in a visual communication art field and will transfer to a baccalaureate program.  This program meets the SUNY Transfer Path for Design.  With completion of the associate degree (courses with “C” or higher), students will achieve junior status when transferring into a related program at the SUNY four-year institution.

Students matriculated in the Graphic Design program must achieve a minimum grade of C in each graphic design core course in order to continue on to the next course in the sequence and to qualify for graduation.
