Course Description

Program Description Today’s visual communications professionals are often required to be involved in the entire creative and technical process, from concept through production. Today’s media and art forms are no longer just two-dimensional, static, and print-based, but now include virtual space, digital media, and interactivity. This program helps prepare you to enter this dynamic and ever-changing career field. Perhaps the most unique element of this program is a careful blending of fine art and design. Both aspects are viewed as integral parts of the total visual communications field, and our Visual Communications program strives to integrate and interrelate the fine arts with design. The program also integrates the most recent advances in digital technology. This combination of fine art, design and technology will help prepare graduates for the contemporary visual communications workplace. At the core of our applied degree is the work term component, which consists of two three-month paid work placements. These placements help you hone the skills you develop in college and build a resume that will be attractive to potential employers upon graduation. Our graduates have launched successful careers in a diverse range of visual communications fields. The skills and knowledge you develop may be applied in just about every industry or location. Alternatively, many graduates choose to refine their entrepreneurial skills and develop their own businesses.
