ISU Announces New Degree Program in Graphic Communications
Students have previously majored in either Industrial Technology or Technology Education, with only a concentration of courses in Graphic Communications. This new stand-alone degree program represents a major commitment by the State of Illinois to support the graphic communications industry.
The program is housed in the Nelson Smith Building on the ISU campus, which encompasses 5,000 square feet of laboratory and classroom space including a digital media lab and print media lab for digital printing, flexography, lithography, and screen printing equipment. Students in the Graphic Communications program choose one of three concentrations: (1) Print Media Management, (2) Web Media Management, and (3) Packaging Graphics. Each concentration enables students to apply creative problem solving while learning about technology and management practices related to the production and distribution of graphic media in its many forms.
