Graphic Design-AFA

The Department of Fine Arts includes three areas: Art, Music, and Speech and Theatre. Each, though a separate unit, complements the others.   The Department of Fine Arts is primarily a place to learn. It also serves the campus, the community, and the state by providing artistic, cultural, and educational leadership. Basically, it is concerned with providing opportunities and encouragement for students to develop inherent talents and capacities. It also enables the students to put into practice techniques learned in the classroom.

Participation in classes and programs in the three areas is open to all students. All students are encouraged to embrace these opportunities in order to give dynamic meaning to their developing aesthetic experiences and to develop the whole person.

The fourth digit in the course number indicates the number of credit hours.
