USG’s brand-new, fully equipped studio provides a conducive environment for honing artistic skills, while welcoming students into a creative community that inspires them to grow. The program regularly organizes on-campus exhibitions, as well as trips to museums and galleries in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City and Washington, D.C.
Students also have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience as working designers before they graduate through internships with local and regional businesses, including in metropolitan hubs such as Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Upon graduation, students are
prepared with a diverse academic background and real-world experience to succeed in the competitive field of graphic design.
According to program faculty, graphic designers not only create beautiful visuals, they also are problem solvers, storytellers and innovators who shape how people communicate. In today’s digital world, graphic design powerfully influences experiences, so it’s no surprise that the demand for skilled creatives has never been higher.
