Graphic Design: Career Associate
|
Graphic design students at HACC are trained to use industry-standard equipment and graphics software. Students will assemble a print and digital portfolio for job interviews that will demonstrate skills in digital imaging, layout, design, web, and interactive media. HACC is committed to high academic standards that reflect current trends in the field in order to prepare students for a career in graphic design. These standards are intended to assure high-quality experiences in small classes with access to new technologies and superior media and library support. While most of HACCÂ’s graphic design major courses are offered during the day, some courses are only available at night. All graphic design major courses are only available at the Harrisburg Campus. Some general education and foundation courses are available at the Lancaster, Lebanon and Gettysburg Campuses, and at other sites.
