MU’s Graphic Design Program is a distinct area within the School of Visual Studies. A series of five sequential, required courses (ARTGD_VS 2410, 2420, 3410, 4400, 4410) prepare students to move on to develop deeper knowledge in specific courses, such as Packaging Design, Corporate Identity, Letterpress Printing, Hand Lettering, and Design History. The Graphic Design program offers both BFA and BA degrees and requires a portfolio review after the Introduction to Typography course (ARTGD_VS 2410)
