Digital Graphic Design (BG)

The Digital Graphic Design program prepares students for a dynamic career in the graphic design or marketing communications fields. This specialized program expands traditional business and marketing offerings with the inclusion of a broad range of digital graphic design courses that serve to enhance a student's preparation for the job market. Course work prepares students for entry-level employment in various aspects of the marketing communications field including advertising or sales promotion, as well as for positions in print-related graphic design or electronic publishing. As part of the program, students produce a portfolio of their designs and can gain valuable work experience with hands-on work experience through Cooperative Education and Internships which integrate classroom study with a supervised work experience.
