Graphic design covers the world.
Graphic design is a knowledge base and skill set that will enhance other degrees by introducing design thinking as a means to solve problems and design as the method to communicate those solutions. Students will also learn how to use design principles, design elements and the basic technologies needed to begin collaborating with other designers and produce basic design works. The minor provides direction for student’s creative energy while offering them basic skill sets that may be used to achieve collaboration in work force teams. The minor will allow students majoring in architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, studio art, advertising, journalism, public relations and other majors to take coursework to diversify their education and incorporate design thinking and graphic skills into their overall academic experience.
