Create innovative solutions in this BFA program
Graphic Design is a diverse, dynamic, and flexible field, and Ringling’s Graphic Design program gives you a deep understanding of the design thinking process and how to apply it to a broad spectrum of 2D, 3D, and screen-based media.
Learn strategies for creating concepts and designing interfaces that entice, inform, and surprise the user. Our Graphic Design graduates work as brand designers, graphic and interactive product designers, creative directors, and art directors or freelance and manage their own project and partnership network. Students can get professional, client-centered experience even before they graduate with internship opportunities through the INDEX (Industry Experience) Center and the Design Center.
