VISUALIZING CURRICULAR CONCEPTS<br />

OBJECTIVES<br />

visualizing<br />

curricular<br />

concepts<br />

With all of the aforementioned variables of graphic<br />

design education, it is difficult for beginners to visualize<br />

which design programs are best suited for their individual<br />

priorities. As neophytes to design in general, most would not<br />

have an inkling of how to determine which programs are best<br />

aligned with today’s professional expectations. Under this<br />

premise, it becomes imperative for students to evaluate the<br />

competitive industry expectations they will face before they<br />

embark upon their educational journey. Bridging these gaps<br />

becomes possible by retaining educators that remain informed<br />

of current and future professional expectations. But also by<br />

equipping beginner students up front with the informational<br />

tools to make knowledgeable decisions about their choice of<br />

graphic design programs.<br />

Nothing is more tragic than to have<br />

students attend programs expecting<br />

to receive professional preparation,<br />

only to find after graduation that<br />

major gaps exist in their education.<br />
