Program Summary
The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Graphic Design is a professional degree that provides a foundation for the student to develop strategies to solve communication problems and design effective digital and print products. Graphic design is the study of effective visual communication and the art of presenting information in an engaging way to a specific audience. Graphic design has a rich history, yet it is always firmly embedded in contemporary culture, business practices, and current technology. Students who graduate with a BFA in Graphic Design at SUU develop a professional portfolio that showcases their print and interactive design work. Courses focusing on branding, web and interactivity, User Experience (UX/UI), print publications, and packaging are just a few classes in a project-based curriculum. Emphasis is placed on real-world problem-solving while allowing room for experimentation and growth for each student.
Program Information
