Programme de maîtrise en design graphique

The MFA Graphic Design Program is a year-long, LA-based student, faculty, and research collective of designers investigating the issues of our day. We blend design exploration, critical inquiry, and applied projects to interrogate and better our world. We partner with organizations to foster deep impact beyond the classroom.

Usually, students convene for four consecutive semesters completing all required credits in fourteen months; this accelerated program serves the needs of working professionals and traditional students, alike.

During the course of studies, students learn to work across media and platforms through a series of studio projects, visiting workshops, courses in design theory and history, and round table discussions.

The coursework engages research, discourse, critical thinking, and iterative process with the goal of discovering many possible design outcomes. In doing so, the program supports students in taking on the challenges and opportunities in contemporary graphic design practice.
