Communication Design Online Degree (AAS)
Audiences are distracted. Attention spans are short. And communicators who can break through the noise with high-impact design, meaningful messages, and memorable experiences are in demand across a range of industries.
Part of the Communication Design Pathways Department, this Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree program will introduce you to the diverse means and tools of visual communication, including digital design, design process, typography, and color theory.
It also prepares you to apply for the following BFA programs:
- Advertising and Digital Design
- Graphic Design
- Packaging Design
- Spatial Experience Design
The online degree in Communication Design Foundation is designed to give students flexibility in earning an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree in one academic year.
The online program is identical to the curriculum delivered to one-year AAS degree students on campus, but it allows distance learning for working students living locally and those who would otherwise be unable to attend due to geographic constraints. Ultimately, this delivery method builds local and global connections.
One-year students graduate prepared to matriculate into one of the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Fine Arts degree programs in the School of Art and Design or prepared to work in business for the fashion and design industries.
