Design, BA


Department of Art, College of Fine and Performing Arts

79 credits

Introduction

The Design area of the Department of Art identifies design as the visual communication of ideas. The program utilizes a curriculum that emphasizes the process of problem solving and encourages students to make connections between culture and design, and their role as visual communicators. Students learn to combine personal expression and critical thinking as they create solutions that connect industry to an audience and themselves to the world. A junior portfolio review is held each spring; the portfolio is based on a selection of work from 300-level design classes.
