College of Arts and Sciences
Bachelor of Science in Computer Graphic Design
The Bachelor of Science degree in
Computer Graphic Design prepares graduates for a variety of positions in
which they use computer graphic applications. They are qualified to work
as commercial artists (also called graphic artists or graphic designers)
and applied artists in design — including web design as well as print
design. They use computers to create, edit, and optimize graphic designs
in a variety of formats. The major includes traditional courses in art
(such as drawing, visual design, and history of art) as well as
electronic publishing and web publishing, and it requires a core of
courses in two-dimensional computer graphics, three-dimensional computer
graphics, digital imagery, and computer graphic effects.
