Home > Art & Design Degrees > Visual Communication

Your ability to simplify - and transmit - ideas and information is indispensable in a world that sees too much and absorbs too little.

Your domain may be in graphics, storyboards, photography, typography, illustrations, or even street and highway signs. The days of hand-carving sans serif typographs have almost passed; now your valued tool is likely to be your computer mouse, and your canvas a computer monitor.

Whether you earn a certificate, Associate or Bachelors degree, our online programs examine important visual communication fundamentals: composition and style, color, textures, integration and manipulation of graphics images, photographic re-touching and text/font design.

But for the 228,216 graphic designers employed in 2004 (source: National Employment Matrix), visual communications is not strictly an artsy affair.

So online degree programs stress general management, critical thinking, logic, communication, and problem solving for workplace challenges. This will apply to the rich media advertising, corporate reports, business presentations, instructional materials and electronic publications designers create for business/training needs.
