The BFA program provides more in-depth study of graphic design. Students will continue to develop their portfolios with more creative, award-winning projects. They will continue to utilize a personal work station and their own laptop computer. The BFA degree has become increasingly important for job placement in the graphic arts field.

While the BFA degree program is a continuation of the AOS degree program, it is specifically designed to:
• provide an advanced and in-depth study of advertising and graphic design.
• place more emphasis on award-winning creativity and generating ideas through research.
• allow students to customize their portfolios to showcase their strengths.
• include job shadowing which allows the students opportunities to make contact with potential employers and discover places they may like to work and develop their career.
• emphasize the importance of all forms of business communication for a successful art career.
• include general studies courses which are designed to provide students with a business perspective for their art including communication, finance, cultural trends, business styles, multicultural similarities and differences, and global values – all areas which impact the graphic arts field.

Graduates will earn an Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and will be well equipped to enter the work force.

Online Education
As part of the BFA degree program, third-year students will be required to complete specific general studies courses online. These courses are: Ecology 301 and Management Across Cultures 401. Online education courses will be taught by adjunct instructors, knowledgeable in their field, who are not located on campus.
