Overview

This three-year, 60-credit-hour Graphic Design degree from Oklahoma State University will develop your expertise as a graphic designer in Interaction Design and Motion Design while developing your research, presentation and writing skills.

As an MFA graduate, you will be able to respond to both the creative demands of the graphic design profession and the research and teaching requirements of academia. Indeed, the OSU MFA in Graphic Design is a terminal degree that qualifies you to teach at the university level.

The three primary focus areas for this degree are:

Interaction Design - Sometimes referred to IxD, User Experience Design or UX Design, the study of interaction design considers the role of graphic design within human-computer interaction, the ever-shifting role of the participant (user/consumer/participant) and design strategies for interface design and development. Other research areas explore the nature of design, communication and information in the context of crafting two-, three- and four-dimensional experiences.
Motion Design - Also known as motion graphics, this focus area brings the function and principles of graphic design and visual craft to sequential media and screen-based experiences. A focus in motion design includes animated typography, graphic elements, video in film and television, advertising, information graphics, music video and new media where elements of graphic design are set into motion, synced with sound and in dialogue with audiences.
Visual Communication - This focus invites interdisciplinary critical perspectives into visual media, considering the broad range of traditional as well as dynamic media. Emphasis is placed on innovative approaches to the communication of ideas and information within a spectrum of existing and speculative environments, experiences and frameworks. The array of applications of interdisciplinary visual communication include branding, information design, navigation and environmental graphics systems and media design.
