Ready to turn your passion for art and design into a successful future? Whether you choose to pursue Marist’s B.S. in Digital Media with a concentration in Graphic Design or a Graphic Design Minor, we have the tools, resources, faculty, and facilities to prepare you for a successful career after graduation.

“My time at Marist has been great, and I value the relationships I’ve formed with other students and my professors. I’m an editor for the student newspaper The Circle, where I serve as a Chief of Graphic Design. I also attend the Red Ink art club, where we get together to do crafts, socialize, and de-stress. I also just really enjoy the time I spend just working alone in the studio, but at the same time I appreciate the thoughtful critiques and suggestions I receive when my work is viewed by others.”

Customize Your Graphic Design Curriculum

The variety of Graphic Design programs available to you as a Marist student allows you to develop a curriculum that is best for your interests in career goals. You can either pursue one of two Graphic Design programs:

 

  • B.S. in Digital Media with a concentration in Graphic Design: study Digital Media and specialize in graphic design with courses like “Typography and Design,” “Multimedia Authoring,” and “Digital Illustration”
  • Graphic Design Minor: an excellent option for students who are planning to double-major, have multiple minors, or are interested in pursuing a more thorough study of the liberal arts

Interdisciplinary Graphic Design Collaboration

At Marist, we value the opportunities for our students to work hand-in-hand with students from other fields of study. As a Graphic Design student, you’ll be able to work side-by-side with Games and Emerging Media students on design for video games, create designs for stories for the Marist Circle, Marist’s student-run newspaper, and Business students on promotional materials for entrepreneurial pursuits.
