North Country Community College - SUNY

North Country’s Computer Graphics and Design program emphasizes a thorough grounding in traditional art skills at the same time that you’ll master modern techniques. You’ll learn basic concepts of graphic design while using the same hardware and software favored by professionals, mastering vector and raster-based drawing programs. This hands-on experience helps develop skills essential to producing multimedia, print and web-based designs. At the same time, though, you’ll also build hand-art expertise with courses in drawing and design, and gain a deeper appreciation for the classics with studies in art history - ensuring that your aesthetic grounding is as developed as your technical skills.
