It’s essential for a graphic designer to be trained on up-to-date, industry standard software, but technology alone doesn’t make a great designer. Assumption’s Graphic Design program stands out for its commitment to the artistic dimension of design. Our faculty are practicing artists as well as experienced designers, so they bring their creative passion into the classroom; and our graduates don’t just get jobs – they find fulfilment in their work.
Students in the Graphic Design program work in our state-of-the-art Mac labs and emerge with all the technical skills they need to thrive as professionals, but they also study design within the context of a broad-based liberal arts education. This fosters the critical thinking and communication skills that build successful careers.
