Minor in Graphic Design
A minor in Graphic Design provides students with a foundational understanding of design thinking methodology along with a general understanding of typography, color theory and concept development.
Students receive hands-on technical training with Adobe software in order to perform computer-based forms of graphic design, video editing and basic animation. Graphic Design is a valuable addition to virtually any major and opens doors to diverse careers in journalism, public relations, advertising, marketing, social media and more.
