Discover Communication Arts Technology
Why it Matters
Pictures + words = visual communication. It’s everywhere you look—menus, apps, album covers, movie posters, websites, T-shirts, even license plates. Designers, photographers, and web designers shape how the world sees, understands, and buys things.
Where You’ll See Your Skills at Work
Advertising, social media, brands, packaging, news and magazines, PR and marketing, corporate communications, interactive media, TV/film—every industry needs clear, compelling visuals. As new platforms keep popping up, the need for strong images and smart design keeps growing.
What You’ll Learn
You’ll develop the creative and technical skills to bring your ideas to life through visuals for both print and digital media. With small class sizes, you’ll receive the individual attention and support you need to grow.
Learn From Working Professionals
Your instructors are active designers, photographers, and web designers. Classes mirror real studio environments and business expectations, so you graduate ready for entry-level roles and freelance opportunities.
