Overview

Students at Design Studies at Marymount University will have the opportunity to combine courses in our Visual Arts core with a declared concentration in one of the following areas: Fashion Design, Graphic and Media Design, Historic Preservation, Interior Design, UX/UI Web Design, or Visual Merchandising.

Overview

Many students will be able to further customize their degree by selecting a second concentration.

By providing students with the opportunity to explore multiple disciplines, we ensure that students graduate from the program ready to obtain a job within the fast-growing design field.

The Design Studies B.A. degree offers small, hands-on classroom experiences taught by faculty with diverse design backgrounds.

Our workplace-ready culture allows students to write, work on teams, present, use industry standard software, and operate with a high-level of creativity so that they quickly rise to the top amongst their peers in the industry.

Students will also have the opportunity to network and engage with alumni working in the field so that they build connections with influencers hiring within Washington, DC’s top firms and corporations.
