Graphic design is one of the fastest growing professions, and studying graphic design at Plymouth State University could very well be the turning point in your artistic career, because PSU offers one of the most comprehensive graphic design programs in the Northeast area. Both the B.F.A. and the B.A. degrees offer design options. There is also a graphic design minor.
PSU offers a unique state-of-the-art facility contained in a renovated factory building, with full student accessibility to our 20-workstation Macintosh G4 computer lab. All students selected for inclusion in the graphic design program will work with dedicated design instructors in a hands-on curriculum that balances conceptual thinking with technical know how, and unites traditional design skills with digital applications.
Past PSU graphic design program graduates have secured positions in design studios, ad agencies, corporate in-house design departments, digital multimedia facilities, printing companies and other professional situations.
