Student’s pursuing the Graphic Design minor will learn how to visually convey messages, clarify complex information, and solve problems through design. Focus is placed on creative and conceptual processes that allow students to design powerful messages working with typography, layout, illustration, color, and more. Additionally, students will become familiar with current design software, vocabulary, and industry trends. The Graphic Design minor pairs well with CC programs such as art, business, marketing, entrepreneurship, communication studies, english, sociology, among others.
The minor consists of 18 credit hours, 12 of which are required courses and 6 are upper-level electives.

Minors
A minor is defined as a course of study of at least 18 semester hours outside the student’s major. Academic minors may be earned in disciplines as specified by the department faculty. Requirements are a grade point average of 2.0 or higher for 18 or more semester hours.
Courses for the minor may also meet general education or major requirements, and at least 9 of the required hours must be earned in Columbia College coursework. (Transfer courses equivalent to courses designated are accepted toward the minor.)
Majors and minors may not be added to an already earned degree.
In some curricular areas, the College offers courses totaling fewer than 18 semester hours. In these areas, students may earn additional semester hours through transfer credit so the total semester hours earned meets the required number of hours (see Evaluation of Credit and Testing ). Main Campus Day students can participate in cooperative cross-enrollment with the University of Missouri - Columbia and/or Stephens College (see Advising and Registration ).
