Nationally, the job outlook is for rapid growth through the 1990s with additional job opportunities resulting from the need to replace designers who leave the occupation because of career change, or retirement. Job opportunities will be better and salaries higher for designers who have computer experience. Graphic design and computer arts training at De Anza provides students with a solid background in design theory and practice as well as an extensive hands-on laboratory experience. For a more detailed budget calculation, see the student fees section of De Anza's Schedule of Classes. Books and lab fees are not included in the above calculations.
Some evening classes are available to accommodate working students.
