Graphic Design Transfer Opportunities

College of DuPage has partnered with several transfer institutions to provide opportunities for students to complete a bachelor's degree in the graphic design field. Students should make an appointment with a faculty member, counselor or a program advisor to discuss these transfer opportunities.

For more information about Transfer Pathways, visit the College of DuPage Catalog. The Pathway represents a typical course schedule for a student planning to complete the AA or AS degree within two years, then transfer and major in a specific discipline. See your Faculty or Academic Advisor to obtain specific requirements as course requirements vary by transfer institution.

College of DuPage has partnered with a number of colleges and universities to create innovative transfer agreements for students to transfer seamlessly to earn a bachelor's degree. Many articulated agreements have a predetermined course plan and requirements. Students should work closely with the faculty or the Counseling and Advising office regularly to ensure proper courses are taken.
