It also builds problem-solving and project management skills.

The Graphic Design Program will prepare you to work in a dynamic, evolving industry. You will study in an engaging environment with teachers who can deliver one-on-one instruction for a truly unique college experience. You will learn the foundational drawing techniques as well as the digital skills necessary to meet the needs of your clientele. You will also acquire the confidence to manage projects independently and build an impressive portfolio of work.
