Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design

Program length - 4 years full-time, 5 years evening

This program envisages training of professionals specializing in development of all kinds of graphic design from creation of special products for companies (business cards, envelopes, letter heads, bags, logos, WEB sites) to industrial design, book graphics, graphics for periodicals, etc with the help of computer software.

This field of specialization combines a variety of courses in graphics, topography, composition, drawing, painting, applied graphics as well as study of various computer software applications.

Unlike other design schools we accentuate students’ attention on ability to present visual information via computer, and on their compositional skills in arranging this information. It means that our students learn graphical design through composition and utilization of advantages offered by computer, rather than through drawing.
