Catalog Description
The Associate of Arts Degree in Graphic Art and Design is designed for students interested in visual arts and graphic design. This degree combines traditional visual art topics with practical graphic design skills. Students will learn to produce solutions to visual communication problems. The form of the communication can be print or digital and include photographs, typography, illustration and other graphic forms. The work produced includes branding and identity designs, publication designs, advertising, packaging, motion graphics, websites, information architecture, and other types of communication design. Students will explore both art and design history and learn the principles and elements of design.
Enrollment Completer Projections
An estimate is for 5­-10 students to earn this certificate within an academic year. Program growth continues to develop as more students are aware of our program which officially launched Fall '16. We project 2 cohorts (4 years) will see reliable data for future projections.

Same concern from ELAC faculty; have the following concerns: that the program(s) in development have not been discussed in NetLab meetings and do they align with ITT Pathwyay under Doing What Matters.
