The VIU Graphic Design Program can help!
Although many students achieve their goals by attending a 2-year diploma, you may want to continue on to a four-year school for a bachelor’s degree. The Graphic Design Program at VIU is structured to accept third-year transfer students, and we’re pleased to offer those with a graphic design diploma a seat as a third-year student at VIU.
While there may be some classes that don’t transfer exactly, we make every effort to accept all earned credits, and we’re happy to work you to get you into our program as easily as possible.
Our upper-level courses cover topics such as:
- Art Direction
- Project Management
- Graphic Design Process & Principles
- Advanced Typography
- Illustration
- Sketching & Concept Ideation
- Design Thinking
- User Interface/User Experience Design
- Presentation Design & Public Speaking
- Publishing Design for Traditional & Digital Media
- Package Design
- Information & Experiential Design
- Logo, Branding & Identity Design
If you are accepted as an upper-level transfer student, you will be eligible to enrol in all 300-level design courses, as well as electives of your choosing. Have a look at our graphic design offerings and descriptions here.
