Graphic Design Minor

Graphic Design Minor Courses (18 Units)

This minor will provide undergraduate students the opportunity to supplement their non-art major with a minor in graphic design. Graphic design is the profession that plans and exercises visual communication principles according to the needs of audiences and contexts for which the communication is intended. Graphic designers use various technologies as means for creating visual form and as a tool through which communication takes place. This minor will enhance students’ ability in any major or discipline that requires them to describe concepts and ideas visually.  A graphic design minor will also prepare students for internships and entry-level positions in the field of graphic design, specifically suited for the design specialties of editorial, corporate design/branding, marketing, book design, digital media packaging, and wayfinding/information design.
