Graphic Design Degree and Programs
Some entry-level technical graphic design positions require only an associate degree, but for most graphic design positions, a bachelor's degree is the minimum requirement. If you already hold a bachelor's degree in another field, a two- or three-year graphic design program can provide the industry-specific training you need. With a few years' experience and continued career training, you could eventually become a chief designer or an art or creative director.
What Can You Do With Your Graphic Design Degree?
Graphic designers create print and layout techniques, color, illustration, animation, photography, and more, in order to convey a message through print, electronic, and film media. Graphic designers are employed by design firms, advertising agencies, newspapers, magazines, journals, and businesses that publish reports or Web pages. The work is highly technical, so a graphic design degree is essential if you want to succeed in this career.
