ArtCenter College of Design

Pasadena CA

ArtCenter College of Design educates designers to excel in craft and develop a unique vision. We believe design is critical to business, our communities, and society. We research, strategize, develop concepts, prototype, and execute to create sublime solutions that move the viewer.

In our Undergraduate Graphic Design Program, we foster the highest standards of creativity and critical thinking, visual and cultural literacy, craftsmanship, professionalism and collaboration, leadership and ethical purpose, and a readiness to be lifelong learners. We offer five areas of emphasis that can be combined together, allowing students to develop unique skillsets: Motion, Visual Interaction Design, Print, Package Design, and Transmedia (design systems explored through traditional and emerging media).

Our Graduate Graphic Design program focuses on skill, leadership, and strategic thinking across all media with a goal of practical professional improvement and creative vision.

In 2022, we launched our MDes in Brand Design and Strategy online program, focusing on brand strategy and innovation, in which students explore the broader constructs of successful brand strategy, building, and management. This program fosters the designer’s ability to be a chief decision-maker, with the skills and tools to lead teams and create change.
