The Graphic Communications major distinguishes itself from a graphic design concentration by adding business courses to its requirements. The Graphic Communications major is an interdepartmental program between art and business. It is designed to prepare students with a background in both art and business theory and practice. Independent studies are available in the Department of Art, as well as internships in local museums and art-related businesses. An active gallery program includes both professional and student exhibitions.
Guest artists conduct workshops in specialized art media.
The lower-division requirements are the same for all art concentrations. All senior art majors are required to organize a portfolio and to exhibit their work during the semester immediately preceding graduation. The exhibition is under the guidance of an art faculty advisor.
