The communication Design program educates and trains designers for the communication needs of industry and society.

In this programme emphasis is placed on the conception, creation, planning and realization of visual solutions to complex problems in contemporary culture. Students integrate methodology, prototyping, aesthetics, human factors, technology, materials, context and audience to develop strategies and solutions that give form to print, screen and the built environment. Faculty emphasizes the objectives of design rather than the process of production, and encourages innovative visual ideas that inform, interpret, instruct or persuade the intended user across the spectrum of application.

The profession also includes packaging, point -of- purchase display, product graphics and environmental graphic design, as well as animation, computer-based multimedia, interface and interaction design.
