Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Design
The major in Visual Design leading to the BFA degree provides a broad critical framework for evaluating design and how to apply it to every aspect of business, from branding to visual communications, interactive media to digital product design. Our program is built on Design Thinking practices and nearly all courses support the act of investigation through making. With a focus on three areas of design—visual identity, interaction experience, and motion design—the Visual Design degree gives students the autonomy to specialize and be better prepared for the growing demands of the designer’s role in tomorrow’s digitally driven society.
