About the course

The Communication Design program enables learners to gain the design thinking knowledge and skills required of practicing designers in areas like communication design, user experience design, and branding. You will grow these competencies through exercises, projects, and learning experiences designed to develop practical, analytical, creative, emotional, and social intelligences. Graduates are prepared to enter a wide range of design practices as adaptable problem solvers that consider context and stakeholder need as drivers for design. With a problem-solving format, students develop visual communication skills, explore the integration of type and images through a variety of traditional and computer media, and imaginatively deliver messages responsive to the needs of the sender and the receiving audience. Students learn to be aware of the cultural context in which they work. The sign on the door doesn't have to say designer for design to be part of your career. Design jobs can be found in design agencies, non-profits, in-house, and self-employed environments (to name a few). Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
