I'm a graphic design student. If you take what professors say and you study the text and even do some occasional self study you'll definitely learn. The staff does a good job of teaching design principles, typography and type and image composition.

My one major critique of the program is its focus on print media. Yes there is still a print design market out there, but the industry really calls for good web skills. These days information is consumed mainly through digital means. That's not to say that the solid design principles aquired here aren't going to transfer over into these markets. They will, just not one to one.

As I'm writing this the concentration has just shifted its name over to Design & Digital Media. Hopefully this shift in name also includes an expanded curriculum that encompasses more digital media than previously offered.

If you're interested in print design, this school would be a decent choice for you. But if new media design is where you see your future, I would recommend finding a school that embraces the more recent trends in information and communication.

Altogether, the program is a solid one, it's just that it may not be training students in the areas where the industry is expanding. I'd hate for the program to become outdated, but if the curriculum is not revised soon graduating students will be stuck - unequipped for what the market demands.
