Our Programs

SU offers several programs in cooperation with FCC.

Art - Graphic Design

The aim is Salisbury University’s graphic design program is to build strong skills and assemble a professional portfolio of design work that shows your ability to solve a wide range of design problems.

At some schools, art and design have gone their separate ways, but not at SU. Graphic design is our most popular track within the major, but we believe the best graphic designers are those with interests outside of the Mac Lab, too. So, we require all our B.F.A. majors to take art electives in other areas of the department as well. We have heard repeatedly from visiting arts professionals that the sort of diverse creative problem-solving students experience in a program like ours makes them more effective artists and designers when they go out into the world.

FCC students who have completed the Associate of Arts, Arts and Humanities, Art Area of Concentration with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher are granted admission to Salisbury University as a B.F.A. major in the Graphic Design Track. You must also complete AACC courses with a grade of C or better to receive credits for transfer.
