BA in Graphic Design

The La Roche University Graphic Design Department encourages intellectual curiosity, interdisciplinary collaboration, conceptual thinking, social awareness, and individual creativity. We educate and prepare students to be proactive leaders in the ever-changing design profession. In line with La Roche Universities’ mission, we place the utmost importance on an education that will ultimately empower our graduates to effectively use design to shape culture and affect positive change in society.

Our curriculum is a well-structured and rigorous program that serves as a basis for the investigative study necessary for upper-level design courses. Almost three-fourths of the course work is in major requirements, major electives, foundation courses, or art history. Students spend a considerable amount of time in the studio interacting with other students and their professors, immersing themselves in their major.
