About the Department of Art and Design
Our department is composed of four disciplines: Art & Creative Technology, Graphic Design, User Experience (UX) Design and Interior Design. Our diversity allows for a holistic design approach that demands our graduates to embrace responsibility towards building a viable future.
B.F.A. Interior Design
& Pre-Architecture
The CIDA-accredited program prepares students for entry-level interior design practice, for advanced study, and to apply for membership in professional interior design organizations. The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design with a General or Pre-Architecture concentration granted by University of New Haven meets the educational requirement for eligibility to sit for the National Council for Interior Design Qualification Examination (NCIDQ Exam).
B.F.A. Graphic & Digital Design
The Graphic Design program educates and trains designers who will enrich society by creating culturally significant forms of communication and experiences. Students will design solutions that impact, and they will build their knowledge of graphic design through a diverse curriculum, which includes coursework in design history, theory, methods and practice. Graduates of our program will be able to design and visualize effective and edifying solutions to a wide range of contemporary issues, taking their places as leaders in the industry and securing successful and fulfilling careers.
B.A. Art & Creative Technology
The Art program places a particular emphasis on the history and context of art, weaving contemporary visual culture together with the world around us. Beyond the traditional media of drawing and painting, students will explore contemporary practices in digital, video, and experimental media. Students will develop their critical thinking skills early, in Visual Thinking, our first year foundation course. By the final year, when students complete their Senior Seminar courses and final exhibition, they will have developed a portfolio of work that summarizes each student’s practice and artistic philosophy.
M.P.S. in User Experience
UX design draws inspiration from the fields of psychology, technology, engineering, business, marketing, software development, and communication. That's why individuals with these backgrounds are so welcome in the UX design field. The curriculum of our Master of Professional Studies in User Experience (UX) Design pulls in all these disciplines and equips our graduates with the skills to thrive in this challenging and exciting field.
