Graphic Design & Media Major

Graphic Design majors receive a well-rounded education in print and web design, interactive multimedia, video and still photography, typography and animation that prepares them for this dynamic field. Because Creighton has one of the few Apple Authorized Training Centers in the Midwest, students can earn Apple certification in programs such as Final Cut Pro by passing an exam at the end of their courses rather than going through expensive post-graduate certification courses. Our student-run Studio Blue does professional design work for clients in the community. Graphic Design majors also work on our award-winning student news organization, the Creightonian. Numerous internship and freelance opportunities help students build the portfolios that lead to jobs in public relations and advertising agencies, graphic design firms and businesses and nonprofits.
