Associate of Arts, Graphic Design Transfer
Program Description
Graphic Design students wanting to continue their education can transfer to the University of Nebraska-Omaha (UNO), using the suggested sequence of study under "Requirements" as a guide. Upon completion of the courses listed, students will graduate from MPCC with a Print Design certificate and a Multimedia certificate in addition to their Associate of Arts degree.
Graphic Design courses at Mid Plains cover a wide range of design skills in print, web, 3D, animation, and video editing. Concept development, branding, packaging, and publication design are a few of the many abilities that students will develop as they take these courses.
Graphic Design is a dynamic field that involves continually changing trends, technology, and software programs. Therefore, students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning. Individuals who choose graphic design as a career need to develop a desire and attitude for lifelong learning to remain up-to-date in technology as well as with ever-changing design trends.
