Graphic Design Technology (Graphics Technology) Associate in Science (GRAPH-AS)

A two-year program that serves as a prerequisite for Pensacola State's Bachelor of Applied Science with a concentration in Graphic Design degree. It also prepares students for careers in graphic design upon graduation or acts as a transfer degree for persons wishing to continue their education toward an advanced degree at a professional art school. Additional general education course work may be required for transfer to a four-year college. Contact the four-year school for information.


Courses cover practical and theoretical problems of visual communication from the inception of an idea to its final presentation to the printer or client. Concepts and execution are covered with strong emphasis on computer assistance, drawing skills and technical developments in the field. Some professional internships are available for advanced students.

We strongly encourage you to contact the Visual Arts Department for assistance in planning your program of study.
