Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Communication Design

密歇根州立大学丹佛’s Communication Design program challenges students to become informed, thinking designers. Through specific coursework that fuses semantics, 语用学和语法, students discover how to design for the people and contexts that require communication while learning to craft effective and culturally appropriate messages in a broad range of design media. The program positions five pedagogical pillars as significant to our mission: making meaning, 进一步发展功能, 追求的过程, 中介信息, 培养形式. These pillars are underscored by a contemporary practice that integrates design fundamentals with emerging media, 研究, 和历史/理论.

Consistent with the 艺术系, student learning outcomes are designed around three assessable themes: 研究, 执行, 和清晰度.

Graduating students earning the B.F.A. in Communication Design should be able to:

  • show evidence of intellectual inquiry and curiosity in design 研究;
  • convey ideas that are consistently reinforced through the 执行 of cohesive work(s) that are the result of the process of making;
  • effectively articulate oral, written and visual design processes and concepts.
