About Academic Accelerator - Bachelor of Fine Arts - Graphic Design

Program Description

The Academic Accelerator Program (AAP) is a two-semester program designed specifically for students who are ready to succeed in immersive English-speaking classrooms, but who also want the benefit of English-language and student support to help them thrive. The program curriculum offers a balance of university-wide and AAP-exclusive courses, with English-language course supplements that equip students with the practical, subject-specific vocabulary and skills they need to excel in their coursework.

As an Academic Accelerator student at UDayton Global you'll receive:
  • The right amount of support when you need it.
  • A seat in credit-bearing courses, so you can earn a full freshman year’s worth of credits while taking courses tailored to your needs as an international student. This will help you achieve your academic and career goals.
  • English-language instruction designed around your social and academic needs.
  • Integrated and cohorted courses, so you’ll be in some classes with U.S. students and others with your designated UDayton Global cohort.

Imagine and create visual solutions to complex problems in contemporary communication and information through graphic design. The graphic design program prepares you to channel your knowledge and creativity toward inventive and effective design solutions.

Graphic design requires advanced levels of visual, technical and problem-solving skills. Our program is structured to provide you with excellent opportunities and conditions to develop these attributes and become a successful design professional.

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) is an intensive professional program of study specifically designed to prepare you to enter the field of graphic design and/or to continue your studies in graduate school. Approximately 65 percent of the degree requirements are in the creation and study of visual communication design. Advanced coursework will allow you to collaborate with faculty on independent special interest design problems.

While pursuing your degree and completing your course work, you will assemble a portfolio that can be presented to potential employers. Major effort is directed toward creating a graduation portfolio that demonstrates your exceptional work, helping you find a job or gain acceptance to graduate school. As a senior, you will present your final portfolio to faculty and the professional community.

Entrance portfolios are not required for acceptance into the graphic design program, but students transferring art and/or design credits from other academic institutions are required to submit a portfolio consisting of their work from each course for which they seek credit.

The University of Dayton is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD).
