About the course

The Visual Communication Design program teaches students how to apply creative talent, evidenced-based design, and technical expertise to clarify, instruct, entertain, and move people through effective visual solutions.

　　Visual communication is everywhere you look -- from chaotic city streets to peaceful park trails, ideas are presented, instructions are given, choices are influenced, and stories are told. KU Visual Communication Design students learn to challenge conventional methods and ideas through creative exploration, hands-on inquiry, and systematic design research.

　　At KU, we prepare graphic designers, UX/UI developers, marketing creatives, and other multidisciplinary communicators to thrive as innovative practitioners and socially-engaged leaders in an ever-changing professional field. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
