Bachelor of Science
The mission of the SNHU Graphic Design program is to prepare students to be professional graphic designers educated in the design process and competent in the latest design technologies. With the inclusion of their general education, this degree provides students with a well-rounded, versatile interdisciplinary learning experience. Students are equipped with professional, practical, and business-oriented skills to assist with developing a personal brand identity and gaining a competitive edge in the marketplace. At the same time, students will ground themselves in design etiquette and thinking to foster their creativity and help turn ideas into visual concepts. The degree provides students with the opportunity to look at design from multiple perspectives in order to meet the needs of clients and audiences, while also being culturally and socially aware in all aspects of their work. The degree also includes authentic, workforce relevant learning experiences to prepare students to enter the field.
