Transform your vision into visual impact – where creativity meets communication.

Our Visual Communication Program has combined our Graphic Design Program with our Photography Media Arts Program allowing you to get the best of BOTH programs and more opportunities after graduation.

This program provides students with a strong foundation in visual communication and design principles.

Students will take time off campus or in our photography studio to learn fashion, landscape, sports, and food and product photography. While also exploring different camera techniques and shooting styles.

With that, they also exercise creative methods and critical thinking to design products that inspires a target audience toward a desired objective.

We use a project-based curriculum that gives students the opportunity to work on real-world projects both in studio and in the field.
