Program Design The purpose of the Graphic Design associate degree program is: • to provide a graphic design transfer program in the area of design, fine arts, art education, computer graphics, and advertising; • to offer a degree program for those considering an entry level position in related commercial art fields; and • to provide greater technical knowledge and awareness of the creative visual arts to the community. The program is structured to equip students with a sound foundation in technical skills, graphic design concepts, aesthetics, terminology and vocabulary, and to provide an awareness of the application of acquired technical knowledge. Computer use will be an integral part of the program.
