Degree information:

As a graphic design major, we must undergo an intensive, competitive, and prestigious selection process to go from “pre-major” to an official graphic design major. I was accepted into this program, called the “Block,” in April of 2023, and I am currently a Junior. The program is designed to expose us to all varieties of graphic design – from printmaking and motion to web design and branding. As one of the top graphic design schools in the state and even in the country, I feel incredibly lucky and proud to be a part of something so special.
