ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ\u2019s BFA in Design<\/strong> program combines knowledgeable faculty with industry standard software and the creativity of a studio-based learning environment. With our three concentrations in Communication Design, Animation & Illustration or Interaction Design, students can specialize in techniques and approaches that prepare them for a multitude of design-based careers, including graphic designers, software and web developers, illustrators, animators, marketing and advertising specialists, or product designers. Whether you\u2019re interested in pursuing more hand-drawn approaches that utilize traditional media, or you want to immerse yourself fully in digital media and software, our Design program has the flexibility and diversity for each student to hone their vision. Additionally, our program has a network of internships that allow students to get real-world experience as a designer while receiving college credit and building their resume.<\/a><\/p>\n Visit the QC Design Program Blog here!<\/a><\/p>\n Find Faculty bios and contact information here!<\/a><\/p>\n If you need help with scheduling, advisement, or other questions about the Design Program, email:<\/p>\n support@qcdesign.freshdesk.com<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][lwp_image_carousel gallery_ids=”9424,9464,9468,9469,9470″ slides_show=”1″ show_dots=”off” show_arrows=”off” autoplay_animation=”on” autoplay_animation_speed=”2400ms” slide_animation_speed=”500ms” infinite_animation=”on” adaptive_height=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/lwp_image_carousel][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”fade” animation_speed_curve=”ease-out” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.qc.cuny.edu\/academics\/art\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-16-at-12.18.07-PM.png” title_text=”Design Blog + Sarah Roman” url=”https:\/\/qcdesign.commons.gc.cuny.edu\/” url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”fade” animation_speed_curve=”ease-out” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.qc.cuny.edu\/academics\/art\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2026\/04\/ARTS289_YingHuang_Project04-6-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Ying Huang” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”26px|-6px||||” custom_padding=”|8px||||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Montserrat||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”15px|||||” custom_padding=”|||15px||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Design Program<\/strong> strives to\u00a0provide students with the foundational principles and practices\u00a0<\/span><\/span>required<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to\u00a0<\/span><\/span>enter careers or graduate study in a variety of areas within the field of Design.
