The Associate in Applied Science in Graphic Design degree program at Finger Lakes Community College prepares students for careers as graphic communicators by providing a strong foundation in drawing and two-dimensional design. The course work involves both theoretical as well as practical, hands-on problem solving.

The first year of the graphics program places a strong emphasis on foundation drawing and basic design. Broad concepts of both the elements and principles of design will be thoroughly explored.

In the second year, the student will become familiar with the many technical aspects of graphic design, including computer applications. A working knowledge of industry standards and creative solutions for graphic communications will be stressed.

Field trips to area museums and art galleries, visits to printing and design firms, and guest speakers from the graphic arts and advertising professional community allow students to learn more about Graphic Design careers.

Students completing the A.A.S. Graphic Design degree program are qualified for entry-level positions in advertising agencies and design studios. Many Graphic Design graduates transfer to four-year institutions offering the baccalaureate degree. Credits earned in the A.A.S. Graphic Design degree program may be transferred in varying amounts depending upon the transfer institutions. FLCC graduates with the A.A.S. Graphic Design degree have transferred to upper level programs at Syracuse University, Rochester Institute of Technology, SUNY Colleges at Buffalo, New Paltz, and Oswego, and a number of other private and public institutions.

The goals of the Associate in Applied Science in Graphic Design are:
  • To provide students with a strong foundation in the visual arts that prepares them to solve design problems and communicate ideas effectively.
  • To prepare students for entry-level employment in the Graphic Design fields.
  • To develop in students the 11 Competencies identified by Finger Lakes Community College as learning outcomes of a liberal education.
