Graphic Design Minor
College: College of Arts & Humanities
This array of courses will allow the minor an opportunity to focus on the primary building blocks of graphic design. While the minor consists of the same graphic design courses as the Design Certificate, its additional coursework provides students further understanding of art and design principals, thus offering a more cohesive introduction to the field.
