The HCC Graphic Design Associate in Arts pre-major is for students who wish to pursue a four-year degree in graphic or commercial art or a related field. Careers include creating graphics for newspapers, television, web pages, magazines or any media format. The visual arts department cultivates an educated student body that recognizes the power that images hold, in both historical and contemporary contexts.
Learning the skills doesn't just come from reading the textbook. It happens when you experience new ideas. The graphic design transfer track brings together a diverse group of students to provide the spark for creativity.
It's not all just about learning theory. The graphic design transfer track prepares students by applying the principles of design to projects they would encounter in the real world.
This hands-on computer lab is equipped with the tools used by graphic professionals on the job today. Powered by 32 iMac workstations, each computer is equipped with the most current version of Adobe Creative Cloud applications. Students also have access to scan media and output tabloid size color prints.
Our faculty are committed to engaging students with projects that will help build their portfolios for future studies at a university or employment.
