Bachelor
of Graphic Design (BS)
School of Science and
Engineering
Atlantic International University
The Bachelor of Graphic Design (BS) program
provide students with a set of skills, technical
knowledge, and theory in both art and design
history provide a foundation to create effective
visual communications pieces produced for
the print industry. Other key components
to design include manipulating graphics,
styling text, and arranging visual elements.
The Bachelor of Graphic Design (BS) program
is offered online via distance learning.
After evaluating both academic record and
life experience, AIU staff working in conjunction
with Faculty and Academic Advisors will
assist students in setting up a custom-made
program, designed on an individual basis.
This flexibility to meet student needs is
seldom found in other distance learning
programs. Our online program does not require
all students to take the same subjects/courses,
use the same books, or learning materials.
Instead, the online Bachelor of Graphic
Design (BS) curriculum is designed individually
by the student and academic advisor. It
specifically addresses strengths and weaknesses
with respect to market opportunities in
the student’s major and intended field
of work. Understanding that industry and
geographic factors should influence the
content of the curriculum instead of a standardized
one-fits-all design is the hallmark of AIU’s
unique approach to adult education. This
philosophy addresses the dynamic and constantly
changing environment of working professionals
by helping adult students in reaching their
professional and personal goals within the
scope of the degree program.

or areas you may develop and work on during
your studies. By no means is it a complete
or required list as AIU programs do not
follow a standardized curriculum. It is
