College is a time for exploring new ideas, developing new skills, building on your talents, finding new passions and forming lifelong bonds.

At VCD, our students receive a rigorous grounding in the fundamentals of visual communication design as part of a nationally recognized, award-winning school. Here you'll be taught by faculty who are on the cutting edge of the digital field as well as respected in the disciplines of their craft. Your advisor will be devoted to helping you map out the curriculum and experiential options best suited to your professional aspirations.

Here's a short day-in-the-life video from one of our VCD students, Alex Miller.

Beyond their classrooms, VCD students can gain a wide variety of experiences and hands-on learning opportunities such as:
