GRADUATE PROGRAM

Department Faculty List
The Master of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design at Ohio University is a three-year program.
Understanding the role of graphic design within a pluralistic society and a cross-cultural context are essential components of a graduate design education. The power of design thinking identifies challenges, frames opportunities, manages complex situations, generates approaches, creates deeper understanding and shapes meaningful experiences. At Ohio University, graphic design research evolves thought-leaders that will affect design thought in a variety of communication formats.
The Ohio University graphic design environment recognizes and maintains a high regard for research of the designer as witness, as reporter, as seducer, as innovator, and as producer. Our 50-plus years of experience has established an outstanding reputation nationally as well as internationally as a design education institution that prepares the students studying in the program to be competent designers ready for the design industry.
Athens and Ohio University provides a peaceful and safe environment, which we refer to as ‘an incubator for thought.’ There is very little visual noise and the infrastructure allows us to balance rigorous professional work with social experiences and personal relaxation. The curriculum advances its candidates to be thought-leading designers with the ability to perpetuate their intellectual, personal, and creative growth.
