Visual Communication Design
About the visual communication design program
A Visual Communication Design minor can complement virtually any major at St. Mary’s and will enhance the marketability of graduates with degrees in the humanities, social sciences, business and arts. Students can pursue a minor in Visual Communication Design through existing classes in Fine Arts and English-Communication Arts, plus a new capstone course in Visual Communication Design.
In a world where technology continually advances and information is shared at an exponential rate, a successful message must be clear and effective for its target audience, while also standing out in a visually appealing way. As a result, there is an increasing need for our graduates to be trained as effective communicators who are fluent in visual design and digital technology. Furthermore, the ability to produce messages that are visually effective and shared digitally through social media is a skill that is in high demand, as evidenced by the increasing number of job openings in the field.
What is visual communication design?
