Graphic Design & Multimedia combines design and technology to give visual form to ideas. Every printed page, every web site, every brand is designed to communicate a message in our visual environment. Graphic design is ubiquitous. So are the Web, videos, animations, games, textiles, magazines, and branding. The program provides up-to-date technology, small classes in computer labs, and student-faculty interactions for productive student-centered learning.
