Overview

The Graphic Design program at the State University of New York Fredonia has an extensive history of success and looks forward to where the design discipline is heading.

At Fredonia, we will introduce you to the world of visual communication and provide the knowledge and experience required to develop a sophisticated and competitive portfolio upon graduation. Fredonia has a competitive application process that requires the submission of an art portfolio.

The Fredonia Difference

With classrooms located on the third floor of Rockefeller Arts Center, you will have access to both digital and analog studios, a requirement for designing in the 21st century. Building from a solid foundation in 2D design, the program provides courses dedicated to the various needs of the graphic design industry.

Over the nine design-specific courses offered in the department, topics include everything from icon design, identity and branding, exhibition design, service design, visual narratives, book and editorial design, packaging design, user experience and interactive design (UI/UX), front-end web development, typeface design, design history, design for sustainability, print production, animated motion graphics, and many others.

Small class sizes allow for extensive feedback directly from faculty and peers and give students the freedom to tailor solutions to their own interests in the discipline. Students are able to participate in many design-specific activities and organizations that regularly offer workshops, lectures, portfolio reviews, and field trips, as well as the occasional kickball match.
