Our Graphic Design program lets you reach higher.

Rasmussen lets you work towards your Graphic Design Bachelor's degree while completing your Graphic Design Associate’s degree. With our "laddering" approach, you can bolster your resume with our Graphic Design Associate’s degree, then once you are ready, you can transfer those initial credits to complete your Bachelor's degree. It’s both time- and money-saving. And in 2019, Associate’s degree students transferred in an average of 26 credits.2

A Curriculum Designed by Experience

Our instructors are accomplished design professionals who have received industry awards and accolades for their work. You’ll be exposed to immersive, hands-on scenarios that matter in your Graphic Design college courses. Class smarts, meet life smarts.

Design Skills Meet Life Skills

Employers look for designers with a well-rounded education. Students at all levels will cultivate six employer-valued transferable skills, or soft skills: critical thinking, digital fluency, information literacy, communication, diversity and teamwork, and ethics and professional responsibility. All six are strategically embedded into your coursework; they are integral to the work world.
