Graphic Design
Check out the artwork created by Missouri Western State University’s Bachelors of Fine Art (B.F.A.) in Graphic Design students.
This curriculum of our program is designed to give instruction in graphic design foundations, teach computer skills, and provide advanced courses that are increasingly specific to each student’s area of interest.
Students complete classes in typography, print design, illustration, photography, interactive design, and advertising design. Students are required to participate in the Sophomore Review during their second year and enroll in the Capstone class (Graphic Design IV) and Final Portfolio during their final two semesters.
Internships, offered in the student’s final year, advance the educational process by extending the curriculum into the business world.
