Visual Communications - Creative Management in Art Direction, Associate in Applied Science Degree
This Visual Communications program is designed for students who have already earned the VCA Associate in Applied Science degree and are looking to expand their skills for local employment opportunities instead of transferring to a four-year BFA or university program. This degree focuses on a tailored set of courses from other disciplines that will expose students to marketing, copywriting, small business management, digital photography, and other practical skills that will help them enter the work force. A 180-hour summer internship with a local marketing/design/advertising or film firm is a required part of this program.
