Topics of study include editorial design, interactive web design, experiential design (exhibitions and signs), and kinetic typography, along with advanced typography, corporate identity systems, motion graphics, and art history. You’ll also participate in industry-sponsored competitions and gain experience through a required internship. The program concludes with a senior thesis project and a juried design exhibition. You’ll graduate with a portfolio to present to potential employers.
