Visual communication is everywhere people look -- from chaotic city streets to peaceful park trails, ideas are presented, instructions are given, choices are influenced, and stories are told. The University of Kansas Visual Communication Design students learn to challenge conventional methods and ideas through creative exploration, hands-on inquiry, and systematic design research.
The University of Kansas prepares graphic designers, UX/UI developers, marketing creatives, and other multidisciplinary communicators to thrive as innovative practitioners and socially-engaged leaders in an ever-changing professional field.
