Graphic Design A.A.

*This is an overview of the program. The course sequencing is meant to serve as a guideline for your semester planning. Please note that the scheduling of courses, program sequencing and curriculum are subject to change.*

Designed for those students who have a special interest in entering the world of publication, advertising, and graphic design. As in the Fine Arts Program, the Graphic Design curriculum consists of a partnership between LCCC and The Baum School of Art, Allentown. While some students may pursue the program of study for personal enrichment rather than transfer, the degree is designed for students preparing to enter a program leading to a baccalaureate degree at a four-year college or university. Because the requirements of four-year colleges or universities vary greatly, students should choose an intended transfer college as soon as possible and work with their advisor to coordinate course selection with the intended transfer institution’s program. All students will be expected to prepare a portfolio for transfer or employment applications.

Upon successful completion of this program, graduates will be able to:

• survey painting, sculpture, architecture, and other related art forms with consideration of the aesthetic, historical, and technical significance of major artistic achievements.

• utilize skills and computer graphics in applications of simulated professional scenarios.

• create visually dynamic projects using current industry development and authoring tools.

Transfer information for this program is on file in the Transfer Center. For more information, contact an academic advisor or counselor.
