Students will work with current software to create print and web-ready graphics, digital designs, and interactive art projects. Students will recognize the interrelatedness of Christian faith, service and the visual arts. This program will prepare students for further study or careers that involve visual expression and creativity. The Associate of Arts degree in Graphic Design allows students to complete an AA degree as a stand-alone option or can serve as a base for continued study in USF's Bachelor of Art with a concentration in Graphic Design.
