A Two-Year Program Leading to the A.A.S. or A.S. Degree

This comprehensive occupational curriculum is structured to prepare students to begin a career as a graphic designer. All aspects of this program emphasize developing a strong design sense with imaginative and creative problem solving. Additional emphasis is placed on the skills necessary in preparing artwork for printing such as color separation, page layout, computer imaging and illustration. In addition to being skilled designers and creative artists, students will prepare themselves to meet the needs of employers who are searching for persons with the technical skills to use computer design and production techniques in the advertising and printing industry. Students work with actual clients to experience all stages of the design process from concept to full production proof and client presentation for real-world experience. This program offers a full range of graphic design and production experience which are necessary to build a well rounded, professional portfolio. Vincennes University is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Art & Design.
