Graphic & Communication Design Programs

Design is more than the brochure cover, the ad or the logo. Many graphic design programs teach students how to do graphic design, but that’s not the whole picture. Harrington sets out to educate students in design process, so not only can they execute, but they can think strategically about design. It’s about the big picture.

Harrington College of Design's graphic design programs combine graphic design, illustration, art direction, writing, production and more to prepare today’s natural problem-solvers to become tomorrow’s design leaders. Cross-disciplinary curricula in graphic design and communication design challenge students to think strategically in the interest of coming up with ideas, understanding an audience and creating designs that solve visual problems.
