Communication Is the Golden Key to Success
“Universal clarity of communication is the crux of graphic design,” notes Michael Vanderbyl, a longtime Graphic Design Program faculty member at CCA California College of the Arts.
In keeping with this spirit, the BFA Graphic Design program is both conceptual and skill based, emphasizing interdisciplinary thinking, theory, and rigor; MAIA; BAIA; BFA; AS & AA.
