Learn versatile computer skills
The Adobe Creative Cloud skills taught in this program make you qualified for employment in more than art-related fields.

Plan your courses
We want you to be successful in our program and strongly recommend you talk to an advisor before registering. Start strong by taking the courses in the recommended order.
If you are a full-time student, you should balance a couple of graphics courses with required academic courses in a single semester, so you are not overwhelmed with the workload.

Computer & Software
While not required, owning a computer and subscribing to the Adobe Creative Cloud software will give you greater flexibility to practice the skills you learn in class more often. You will be able to spend more time on assignments and projects outside of class. Meeting assignment deadlines will be easier.
Graphic Communication has a dedicated computer lab for students in our program.
