Mount Mary's Graphic Design Program prides itself on developing skilled graphic artists. By graduation, you will have a design portfolio containing actual client work!

The design faculty encourages open dialog with each individual student from the first semester until graduation. This ensures that the lessons taught in the classroom properly prepare you for your first graphic design job. The depth of design is vast and includes communication, animation, video, and many others in the ever changing design industry. 

Advanced coursework is client driven. You will have the opportunity to meet with actual clients from the Milwaukee area and learn first hand how a piece goes from concept, to design, to production. Clients include:

• Habitat for Humanity
• Milwaukee Women's Center
• Hansberry-Sands Theatre
• Reiman Publications
• Kohl's
• Care-Net
• Creative Quarterly: The Journal for Art and Design
