参加“平面设计高级计划”的学生将从事调查和探索性工作，这些工作将挑战有关传统上认为是平面设计学校输出成果的想法。通过一系列漫长而又模糊了学科界限的深思熟虑的项目，“图形设计高级”计划不断地为在红河学院培养下一代设计思想家开辟了新天地。
Graphic Design provides up-to-date artistic training in the technology, techniques, and philosophy of graphic design, which plays a vital role in the process of presenting ideas, information, products, and services in an expanding global economy. This is a balanced program of art instruction and academic courses designed to develop the technical skills and knowledge essential to professional competence, and to encourage creativity, imagination, and a sense of aesthetic discrimination. Practical work experience is provided through field placement in the graphic communications industry. Assignments in design, illustration, and computer graphics may require a considerable amount of time outside of regular class hours.
