A degree in visual communication design

Developing visual language, process and synthesis

The visual communication design program is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), with the maximum 10 year accreditation. 

The field of visual communication design (VCD) changes rapidly. We are looking for students who are adaptive, curious, and want to experience hands-on learning, develop their critical thinking skills, and make a difference in the world. The curriculum is focused on developing visual language, process, and synthesis. Our program was established over 30 years ago. Today, graduates can be found throughout the world in all forms of media providing solutions in fields such as design, education, environmental, exhibition, fashion, marketing, packaging, publication and more.
