Graphic Design (BFA)4 Year Degree Schedule at Southern Utah University

At SU, we give lots of personal attention to developing your creative skills and vision. We are unique from other art programs across the country in that you will find:

Intense studio experiences. Unlike many schools, art students at Salisbury take fewer, more intensive studio art and design courses, meeting a high level of technical standards. They spend more time creating artwork for their portfolios and interacting with teachers and classmates. The culmination of the program are the senior art shows, where you take the lead in the planning and execution of a professional art exhibit.

One-on-one interaction with faculty. Studio classes are small, so students are able to work closely with faculty mentors. With the guidance of our professional faculty, our students have an outstanding record of acceptance into jobs and graduate programs.

Exceptional facilities. Our Integrated Media Center features a full HD television production studio and a professional audio recording studio, along with a fully equipped digital photography, Macintosh studio and printing lab. We also boast the only on-campus hot glass shop in the state.

The BFA in Graphic Design prepares you to pursue a career as a professional designer. Graphic design majors learn how to communicate a message to a specific audience, whether the goal is to sell a product, promote an image, or present an idea in a compelling and memorable way. Internships provide the experience needed for graduates to move into the profession and allow them to learn how graphic design plays a role in marketing, manufacturing, and communications.

Graphic Design at Lincoln encourages students to become skilled visual communicators, providing the opportunity to work on projects that require practical skills and creative insight to find innovative solutions.

The degree introduces students to the social relevance of graphic design. It covers a wide range of topics such as typography, advertising, branding, editorial design, artists' books, packaging, interactive design, animation, film, and installation.
