About this program

The Graphic Design BA at Whitworth University teaches students to communicate through visual design using typography, photography, and hand-drawn elements. Students build an artistic foundation and technical skills for creative, client-based design. Course options also include drawing, illustration, printmaking, and design history, and students can connect their faith or worldview to their work, including how to handle ethical issues in design careers.

Learning is supported by extended access to a computer lab in the Lied Center for the Visual Arts, with newest Apple iMacs, iPads, SLR cameras, and a photo studio area. Students can also practice through activities such as displaying work in junior and senior exhibitions, using the student-run public-relations agency Beyond the Pines to support local nonprofits, interning with local design firms or businesses, and working in-house with campus departments and programs.
