We teach traditional, foundational skills infused with cutting-edge technology and the spirit of constant innovation. Along the way, you’ll gain a deep understanding of the transformative power of design, build an exceptional portfolio, and position yourself for incredible opportunities at top-tier companies, agencies, and design studios.

Our curriculum mirrors the real world; we explore communication design, branding, typography, and much more. Our instructors are industry professionals who know the value of practical experience and the importance of having a professional-quality portfolio coming out of school.

As a student in graphic design, you’ll also be part of the School of Brand Communications, which includes the Schools of Advertising, Interaction & UI/UX, and Communications & Media Technologies. You’ll have access to a wide range of classes and exciting intra-school collaborations.

We believe that AI will be a driving force in the future of design, a vision reflected in our 17 AI-infused design classes. You’ll learn to use tools like Midjourney, ChatGPT, and Adobe Firefly for rapid prototyping and concepting. We even offer the world’s first MA degree in AI Design.

Whether you’re pursuing a full degree, brushing up on existing skills, or just exploring design one class at a time, you’ll benefit from our extensive business network and alumni connections that can lead to internships and jobs. Join us at the Academy and design your future.
