Graphic Design寻求有组织，目标明确并且对解决无数设计挑战感兴趣的学生。在被集中注意力之前，学生必须表现出出色的概念和技术技能，以及清晰，引人注目的包装和展示作品的能力。“传统学生”以及已经在平面设计相关领域全职或兼职的学生丰富了BFA平面设计本科课程。
Students learn graphic design principles through problem-solving. The program encourages students to meld the practical aspects of applied design creatively with more abstract issues of personal exploration, social consciousness and individual goals. The implementation of historical knowledge, contemporary cultural issues, conceptual and philosophical research, and media experimentation is fundamental to the graphic design experience at Georgia State.The business of graphic design and the practical aspects of the profession are also key elements of the program. Students participate in internships with local, regional, national and international firms, which provide them with a firm footing for their careers once they leave Georgia State. In addition to the permanent faculty, the program uses a diverse and rotating staff of guest instructors, each a prominent member of the professional design field. The professional teaching staff provides an important bridge between the academic program and the professional community.
