Curriculum in Graphic Design
Administered by the Department of Art and Design. Leading to the
bachelor of fine arts degree. Total credits required for graduation:
123.5. Curriculum is planned for students preparing to enter the
professional field of graphic design.
Consideration for admission into the graphic design curriculum
requires completion of at least one year of study at ISU. Admission
is based on department resources and will be determined by overall
cumulative gradepoint average following completion of 23 credits
including the following courses: Art 108, 109, 110, 130, ArtGr 177,
Art H 181, Engl 104 or 105, and 6 credits of general education.
A portfolio review also will be a significant factor in the admission
review process.
On admission to the program, the faculty strongly recommend the
purchase of a laptop computer and software. Specifications for the
laptop computer and software are available at www.design.iastate.edu
under the "Students" link.
Transfer students with studio credits from other colleges and universities
must present for departmental review a portfolio of work done in
these courses in order to have the credits apply toward studio requirements.
Students are advised to present this portfolio of work upon admission
and prior to registration for classes.
