The Visual Communication AAS program equips students with skills and technical knowledge in industry-standard software and equipment like Adobe Creative Suite, digital cameras, and drawing tablets. Through coursework, students develop strong design concepts, troubleshoot issues, and enhance critical thinking abilities. The foundational skills learned in this program open doors to careers in various visual communication fields such as graphic design, photography, animation, and more. Upon completion, students present a comprehensive portfolio for faculty review, paving the way for graduation and future success in the industry.
This program is intended for students seeking to start a career upon completion of the program.
