Illustration (BFA)

The Bachelors of Fine Arts program in Illustration educates the next generation of creative industry professionals. Illustrators possess the ability to create a narrative and affect how consumers visualize the world. The program prepares students who wish to pursue careers in visual development such as creating characters, storyboards, and concept art for film or video games. Students will also gain the skill sets needed to become comic artists, graphic novelists and cartoonists, or illustrate for books, magazines, motion graphics, and the retail licensing industry. The BFA in Illustration helps students build a professional network by requiring attendance to events and conventions including the MOCCA Arts Cartooning and Comics Festival in NYC. Students also learn how to develop portfolio websites, create contracts, and negotiate rates.

Successful completion of the program concludes with an exhibition of the student’s final project along with a portfolio, both tailored to the specific clientele the student wishes to pursue.
