Graphic & Communication Design Residential Learning Community

From CEOs to churches, from charities to chambers of commerce, from car washes to corporations, everyone has something to say or something to sell. In a world where the consumer is bombarded with messages, the ability to persuade is a very powerful communications tool. The graphic and communication design program at La Roche College will provide you with the skills you need to be an effective print and multi-media communicator. You’ll master the computer software that professional graphic designers use. Most importantly, you will become a visual problem-solver and learn to use words, pictures and images to create a compelling message that will sizzle.

The La Roche Approach

For you to obtain an edge before you graduate, you need practical experience in real-world design and communication settings. You will have that opportunity at La Roche College.

Our unique curriculum prepares you to handle deadlines, work as a team member and manage a project from start to finish. During the graphic and communication design department’s annual Immersion Days, teams of students have 48 hours to design and present an entire communications plan for an actual organization. Immersion Days prepares you to work closely with other individuals to come up with solutions to
communication problems, just as employees do in design and advertising firms. In the past, Immersion Days clients have included Best Buddies, North Hills Community Outreach and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Representatives from the year’s participating organization help judge the student work and have even incorporated student-produced pieces into their campaigns. Want to spend time with professional graphic designers? You’ll have that chance through our internship program. Our students have interned with numerous organizations, including FSC Marketing Communications, Jack Horner Communications Inc., Infinity Broadcasting, John Brady Design Consultants and American Eagle Outfitters.

Faculty Focus
Members of La Roche’s faculty who teach graphic and communication design are some of the finest on campus. They include a Fulbright Scholar who spent her 2002 spring semester teaching at the University of Latvia and also a professor who served as a professional graphic designer/illustrator for publications/publishers such as National Geographic, Reader’s Digest, United States Department of the Interior, and William
Morrow and Company.

What Can I Do With My Degree?
