Why Visual Communication and Experience Design?
The Visual Communications and Experience Design major is a dynamic field that bridges aesthetics with functionality, preparing students to become ethical and impactful communicators. You'll move beyond traditional graphic design, which focuses on visual messaging for print and digital media, and dive into the principles of User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX). A career as an Experience Designer is one of the most sought-after roles in the tech industry today, as companies increasingly recognize the value of designing intuitive and meaningful user journeys. The curriculum integrates visual storytelling, strategic problem-solving, and human-centered research to help you create compelling experiences across a wide range of platforms, from websites and apps to physical products and branding.
Graduates with this degree are equipped with a versatile skill set that prepares them for a variety of in-demand roles. You could become a UX/UI Designer, who improves the usability of digital products; a Graphic Designer, who creates visual concepts for branding and advertising; or a Web Designer, who focuses on the visual and functional design of websites. You might also pursue roles as a Brand Strategist, an Art Director, or a Product Designer, all of which are built on the core understanding of how to connect with people through intentional design.
