The mission of the Communication Design major is to enable learners to gain the design thinking, knowledge, and skills required of practicing designers in areas like communication design, user experience design, and branding. Learners grow these competencies through exercises, projects, and learning experiences designed to develop practical, analytical, creative, emotional, and social intelligence. Graduates are prepared to enter a wide range of design practices as adaptable problem solvers who consider context and stakeholder needs as drivers for design. In addition to the entrance portfolio review required by the Department of Art, students pursuing a communication design major must undergo an additional portfolio review near the end of the second semester of the first year. This portfolio and interview process determines advancement into the degree program in the sophomore year. A limited number of students are admitted each year.
