DESIGN YOUR FUTURE, IMPACT THE WORLD

Graphic design is art created by professional designers who develop compelling visual content to solve problems, communicate, convince and guide. By applying a visual hierarchy and unique page layout, you will incorporate typography, graphics and images, to inspire, sell, convince, motivate and lead by making the user experience as easy as possible.

The C-SC Difference

We focus on creative problem solving, independent thinking and fast implementation using real world projects. Working with the latest in hardware and software, you will apply design concepts to branding, social media, package design, print, web, digital, outdoor, 3D, and more. You’ll have the opportunity to join an active art club, Mosaic. You will be given the opportunity to specialize to expand your employment possibilities. You also learn from award-winning, exhibiting artists who will inspire and guide you in the classroom.

The experience you get working with professors and the resources available really makes an amazing experience. You get a really great one-on-one connection with your professors and the small class sizes. The professors care about you and are available for you to ask questions and get help, which is something you don’t get at a lot of colleges.
