Overview

Visual Communication Technology graduates at the Bowling Green State University use print, photography, video, and interactive multimedia as problem-solving tools in a variety of work settings. With a solid background in each of these areas, students also choose one or more of the visual media as a field of specialization.

Key features

In addition, coursework in the major is complemented by a core of business and liberal arts classes, which differentiate BGSU’s program from most others of its kind. The program is fully accredited by the Association of Technology, Management and Applied Engineering (ATMAE).

What strengths or skills should I have to major in VCT?

VCT students should have an interest in critical thinking and problem solving, combined with creativity and an appreciation and awareness of modern technology.

Some high school courses in graphics, print, photography, video/television, film, media, design or art may be helpful, but these should not take the place of rigorous college-preparatory math, English, science, social studies and foreign language.

Accreditation

The University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and a member of the North Central Association.
