Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Graphic Design] From California State University

Students study and produce works that include state-of-the-art computer applications, conceptual art, graphic design, and interior design. The department has fine arts as its core and foundation, while offering areas of study that allow for occupational preparation in a variety of areas. The award-winning faculty is committed to the idea that a foundation in the crafts of art and design is an essential prerequisite to the production of works that show sophistication both conceptually and visually.

Through a combination of traditional drawing and rendering techniques and state-of-the-art computer applications, the graphic design option and B.F.A. prepare students for careers in the graphics and advertising fields, including graphic design, advertising, publishing, film, and web design.

Courses explore the many aspects of design, typography, illustration, computer graphics, Internet design, the history of graphic design, and the professional practices commonplace in the field.
