Associate Degree in Graphic Design

The expanding market for web design, multimedia projects, and video entertainment has made graphic design a hot field. Graphic designers are experiencing greater demand than any other design specialist. An online associate degree in Graphic Design offers the technical expertise necessary to launch a career in this fast-paced industry.

Online associate degree programs focus on the technical aspects of graphic design, and emphasize practical instruction over design theory and liberal arts classes. Courses may include computer graphics, illustration, typography, digital media, Raster graphics, and web publishing. More advanced training extends into animation, visual communications, multimedia, and digital imaging manipulation.



Graduates of an associate degree program in graphic design qualify for entry-level jobs in the graphic design and multimedia industry, such as graphic design assistants and drafters. Many return to school to complete their bachelor degree, or work their way up to higher-level design positions.


Entry-level designers commanded an average starting salary of $32,000 in 2005, according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report. With more experience and training, designers can earn salaries in the $60,000 range with design directors or firm principals earning six figures. An associate degree in Graphic Design cannot guarantee a specific job outcome or salary, but technical qualification is the major factor in a designer's career prospects.
