The phrase, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” is brought to life with a degree in Graphic Design and Communication from BHSU. Gain the necessary graphic and computer design skills and experience to prepare for an exciting, cutting-edge career in advertising, publishing, or public relations. The ability to effectively communicate thoughts and ideas is one of the most highly regarded skills when seeking employment in a creative field. Students learn the basics of graphic and computer design, photo imaging and web design, as they relate to advertising and graphic communication. These principals are then applied in a series of advanced computer design and publishing courses where students create layouts, graphic, and packaging designs to communicate specific messages to an identified public.

BHSU’s facilities maintain a high-tech and creative environment with Macintosh computer labs, three fully-equipped multi-purpose darkrooms, a professional graphic design production studio, a dedicated digital imaging lab, a student–run newspaper production lab, and student-operated radio and television stations.
