Art & Visual Communication

The Art Department at Stevenson University grants a B.S. or B.A. degree in Visual Communication Design. Visual Communication Design majors begin this course of study practicing observational fine art traditions and techniques, and studying art history. This set of experiences provides the foundation for students to further develop and practice conceptual, technical, and professional skills. Upper level visual communication design courses integrate fine art, design, and technical skills in context and practice. The upper level student will be able to demonstrate critical thinking and visual literacy across design disciplines. The culmination of this major is the presentation of a portfolio with a concentration in at least one Visual Communication Design discipline: graphic design, photography, or motion graphics.

I welcome you to explore the site and please contact me to learn more about our dynamic program at Stevenson University.
