Introducing the new SCAD.edu: Fresh design; improved calendar; mobile friendly.

Online Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Design

At SCAD, graphic design is about more than problem-solving, as students explore the creative challenge of determining what the problems are, and what opportunities exist to explore new solutions. At both the undergraduate and graduate levels, online coursework parallels professional practice. Print and digital portfolios display professionally competitive design projects and demonstrate knowledgeable use of both print and time-based communication media.

Student projects may include promotional campaigns, logos and visual identities, multimedia/interactive projects and presentations, packaging, posters, publications, information design solutions, websites, brand design, social media exchanges and more. Students also learn appropriate production techniques and methodologies completely online.
