The graphic design curriculum prepares students for positions in a variety of businesses as design professionals. Current graduates hold positions in internet companies, advertising and marketing firms, design departments and other organizations as well as freelance artists. Students are introduced to concepts concerning typography, logo design, page layout, and web site design.
