The Graphic Design Program at Oregon State University prepares students to take an influential role in shaping contemporary graphic design practice.
Our philosophy focuses on the ‘action of design’ -- how design transforms, translates and communicates.
Students graduate with the ability to generate and execute ideas with ‘intended actions’ that can be applied to a diverse range of design problems. The designed intention centers on effective audience communication and delivery across a multitude of user-interfaces that form a necessary and expected part of living in today’s world.
