Illustration Curriculum ::
Preview your course of study as a UB Design Illustration major. We run on a two-semester year, from September to early May.
Course of Study ::
All design majors begin with foundation courses in two and three dimensional design, color, drawing, photography, computer applications, and background courses in art and design history.
The foundation year is followed by a design studio sequence in desktop publishing, drawing, design, typography, interactive design, and animation. Students are also introduced to the theory and practice of mass communication and advertising, and are encouraged to undertake further study through competitions, sponsored projects, and internships. These external activities allow the student to gain real world experience, better preparing them for the future.
Portfolio ::
All the major requirements focus on creating work to enhance the student's portfolio, the key to acceptance in a high-quality graduate program or competitive business.
Employment ::
After completing the coursework the graduate will find employment in the industry of their choice, whether it be graphic design, web design, interactive design, animation, or illustration. Alternatively, the student may also choose to attend graduate school. The University of Bridgeport's Illustration program will help the student to prepare for an exciting future.
