The SASD Graphic Design Program offers two four-year B.F.A. programs: Graphic Design, and Graphic Design New Media. Each curriculum is a B.F.A. (Bachelor of Fine Arts) of 125 credits minimum. Graphic Design students are versatile visual communicators, designing for a wide range of print and digital media, including identity systems, websites, posters, typefaces, motion graphics, and books. Graphic Design New Media students specialize in digital design, focusing on video, animation, sound, electronic publishing, interactive processes, user interfaces, augmented and virtual reality, and web-based design and development. Both curricula consist of integrated, interdisciplinary sequences which strengthen concept development, communication skills, critical thinking, problem solving abilities, creativity, research methods, and professional practice. Graphic Design and Graphic Design New Media majors share the same foundation in the fundamentals of design. Beginning the second year, students choose electives in accordance with their major and their interests, and proceed together through the Graphic Design Studio sequence. Both programs offer opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, internships, realworld client projects, social impact design, entrepreneurship, and a self-directed thesis project in the senior year.
