    Program overview

    What Portland Community College says about their program:
    "The Graphic Design (GD) program thoroughly prepares you for a highly competitive job market. Students are required to develop a presentation-quality portfolio of creative projects before graduation. This enables AAS in GD graduates to apply for industry employment or to transfer their degree to PSU as a student in the junior year of their BFA in GD program.


    All GD classrooms provide each student with access to the same quality computers, printers, and scanners used by creative professionals. The curriculum is designed to train you to correctly use equipment and software towards the development of creative projects. Students have access to additional prototyping and imaging equipment as needed.


    Software and design-focused courses are taught by professionals with experience developing work for clients in both print and web applications. Projects by students and faculty are regularly recognized by industry awards and publications. Nike, Dark Horse Comics, Powell’s Books, and OPUS have each hired multiple PCC Graphic Design graduates."
