The Graphic Design and Advertising departments include a design studio that operates like a functioning industry studio. Within a classroom setting, students work one-on-one with instructors who foster an atmosphere that combines verbal, visual, and kinetic modes of instruction. This studio is equipped with Macintosh computers and access to various media delivery resources, including overhead projectors, televisions, VCRs, DVD players, and digital projection units. Professional samples, slides, Powerpoint presentations, and library resources are used as a means to inspire students during process-development and creative problem-solving. Projects for outside non-profit organizations and portfolio-focused work is generated in this setting.
