The NWC Art Department’s Graphic Design Program prepares students for careers in the related fields of graphic design, web design, pre-press, and printing. The common core courses in the Graphic Design A.A.S. curriculum are designed to provide technical competency while developing individual strengths and interests.
The Associate of Applied Science in Printing Production is designed to prepare students to enter the graphic arts/printing profession as offset printing operators. Included with the thorough study and hands-on experience of the printing press, Printing Production students will also be exposed to the fundamentals of graphic design. This allows students to have a better understanding of the discipline that generates the work that is targeted for the printing press. Students will also get a basic background in Prepress, allowing them to better communicate with this area that works in concert with Printing.
The Printing Production AAS degree also provides the groundwork for print management training. A second two-year business degree or transfer to a 4-year institution to study business is recommended for those seeking a career in the administrative area of the printing industry.
