Undergraduate Study
The department offers the degree Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) in Graphic design.
B.F.A. Graphic Design. Emphasis is on creative problem solving, design process, visual organization and communication media, and interaction design. Graphic design graduates effectively integrate abstract thinking skills such as communication design theory, history, methodology; and technology. Components of visual communication including typography, symbology, time-based media, information design, branding, image creation, and other communication systems are integrated with an understanding of professional practice.
Graduate Study
The department offers the degrees of Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) in Graphic Design, Master of Arts (M.A.) in Graphic Design, and Master of Arts (M.A.) in Graphic Design with a specialization in environmental graphic design.
M.F.A. graduates in Graphic Design are skilled in communication design, problem solving, and are adept in the use of visual language, symbology, and interaction. Graduates are proficient in the design of communications and the use of technologies that incorporate human interaction with environments, objects, and electronic and traditional publications. The M.F.A. is recognized as the terminal degree in the graphic design field. The degree requires completion of a written thesis integrating theory, research, and design problem solving.
The M.A. in Art and Design with a specialization in graphic design requires a minimum of 30 credits including seminar courses in art and design, a studio concentration, a history course, a business practice course, courses outside of graphic design, and the completion of a capstone course in graphic design. Graduate students selecting the M.A. in graphic design will focus on a first professional degree. Applicants without a degree in graphic design may be required to complete up to 17 additional credits of coursework.
The M.A. in Art and Design with a specialization in environmental graphic design requires a minimum of 34 credits including a seminar course in art and design, a studio concentration, a history course, courses in design methods, and the completion of a capstone course in environmental graphic design. Graduate students selecting the M.A. in environmental graphic design will focus on a first professional degree. Applicants without a degree in background in environmental graphic design may be required to complete up to 15 additional credits of coursework.
Credit earned at Iowa State University or other institution for the Master of Arts degree may be applied toward the Master of Fine Arts degree at the discretion of the program of study committee.
Applicants to the graduate program should have an undergraduate major in an art or design area and demonstrate the ability to do technically competent and original work through the presentation of a slide or digital portfolio for faculty review. Past academic performance and the quality of studio work are critical in the admission process. A minimum 3.0 GPA in the student's undergraduate major is the standard for full admission to the graduate program. Admission is also determined by studio space available within the program area, which changes yearly due to graduate students' progress in their programs of study.
Graduate students who have not completed an undergraduate program of study substantially equivalent to that required of undergraduates in the department can expect that additional supporting coursework, determined by the graduate faculty, will be required.
Prospective students are advised to contact the graduate coordinator with specific questions about admission procedures and portfolio review. Application and additional program information may be obtained from the Department of Graphic Design, College of Design, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011-3092.
Curriculum in Graphic Design
The Curriculum in Graphic Design leads to a 123.5 credit undergraduate Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design including the 30 credit core Design Program.
Admission into the professional program depends upon available resources and is subject to the approval of a faculty committee at the completion of the Core Design Program. Applicants are reviewed on the basis of academic performance, a portfolio of original work, and a written essay.
Transfer students with studio credits from other programs, colleges, and universities must present for departmental review a portfolio of work done in those courses in order to have the credits apply toward studio requirements. Students are required to present this portfolio upon admission and prior to registration for classes. Arrangements for this process must be made with department advisors.
A 34 graduate credit program is offered leading to the Master of Arts specialized in Environmental Graphic Design for students planning to undertake professional degree. (NOTE: Applicants without a degree in background in environmental graphic design may be required to complete up to 15 additional credits of coursework).
A 30 graduate credit program is offered leading to the Master of Arts specialized in Graphic Design for students planning to undertake professional degree. (NOTE: Applicants without a degree in background in graphic design may be required to complete up to 18 additional credits of coursework).
A 60 graduate credit post-professional graduate program is also offered leading to the degree Master of Fine Arts.
