Communication Design Major, B.F.A.

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 Bachelor of Fine Arts in Communication Design teaches students how to use typography, imagery, space, and time to communicate ideas and create narratives or stories. It then builds from these fundamentals into intermediate studies focused on design problem-solving through critical inquiry and research. At advanced levels, students complete projects tied to their interests and to connections with the Denver design community and industry beyond the classroom.

The program emphasizes oral, written, and visual communication as part of a professional education, with strategy in research, practice, and visual studies. It has three distinct focal points: design fundamentals; traditions of the discipline; and interactive, time-based content. Coursework also emphasizes history and theory, strategy, and research through communication outcomes across a range of design media.

The Communication Design program is housed in the Central Building on the southeast side of Auraria Campus, with digital technology, studio and lecture spaces, and printing and production facilities. Students can work in multiple spaces and use a design library and gallery, a collaborative learning lab, an integrated print studio, and in-house printing options for producing design solutions. Graduates go on to roles such as creative director and visual designer.
