We are part of the University System of Georgia and the college's two year curriculum in medical illustration within the School of Allied Health Sciences grants a Master of Science degree through the School of Graduate Studies. Students receive advanced instruction in visual problem solving while enrolled in a varied graduate level medical science curriculum. It is the intent of our department to provide sufficient instruction in a variety of traditional illustration techniques, including pen and ink, continuous tone, watercolor, traditional airbrush, as well as mixed media. In addition, instruction in computer imaging is integral to both the first and second year curricula. Throughout the student's time at MCG, emphasis is placed on anatomical and surgical illustration.
Students also learn to establish and meet objectives within established deadlines.
The intent of such a curriculum is to generate assignments that simulate the demands placed upon the professional illustrator. It is our belief that such a methodology produces a high caliber illustrator capable of coping with the rigors of the professional environment. The program is accredited by the Association of Medical Illustrators and the American Medical Association's Committee on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs.
