515-242-7846Graphic Communications provides education, training and real world graphic design and print production experiences. Through close relationships with industry experts, the program's curriculum and industry experiences reflect the technological expectations of the graphic communications industry. First-year students complete a wide variety of hands-on projects in design, pre-press, print production, and bindery and finishing. Participation in frequent industry tours allows students to increase the range and depth of their understanding.
All students enrolled in the second year of the program are expected to complete a variety of increasingly complex project work. They are also expected to participate in the design, layout and production of various "live jobs." Both the "live jobs" and the projects are intended to further develop their skills and overall understanding of the graphic communications industry. Second-year students may choose the privilege of participating in job-shadow and internship experiences. Job shadowing and internships provide a stronger foundation and background for the advanced student desiring to enter the industry.
