Introduction

Communication Design Major, B.F.A. is a Bachelor program taught at Metropolitan State College of Denver, USA. Intake: Fall, Spring. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (4 years) options.

The Communication Design Major, B.F.A. at Metropolitan State College of Denver is a professional education that emphasizes oral, written, and visual communication. The program underscores three focal points: design fundamentals, traditions of the discipline, and interactive, time-based content. Students learn how to use typography, imagery, space, and time to communicate ideas and create narratives or stories, then move into intermediate design problem-solving through critical inquiry and research.

At advanced levels, students explore design endeavors in projects connected to personal interests and to the Denver design community and industry beyond the classroom. Coursework is described as pathways that fuse semantics, pragmatics, and syntactics, guiding students to design for the people and contexts that require communication while crafting effective and culturally appropriate messages across a broad range of design media. The program is housed in the Central Building on the southeast side of Auraria Campus, with studio, lecture, and printing facilities, plus spaces for collaboration and group critique.
