Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Communication Design - Web Design] From California State University - Monterey Bay

The Communication Design B.S. provides students with skills in visual design, web design, game design and interactive media to fulfill the needs of these industries. Our students gain a broad-based understanding of current technologies and applications along with knowledge of design, communication and management skills. Communication Design majors develop a customized educational plan that supports their career goals and the needs of a multicultural global society.

Students enroll in Capstone courses during the last two semesters of their program. Over the course of the year, Capstone students will create a professional quality project such as an identity package, website, or mobile application.

Capstone students can work individually or in teams of 3 to 5 people. For example, students with different specialties work as a team to create and design audio, video, graphic and literary content, employ the latest available telecommunications or instructional technology, and create new systems and applications as needed. They also are responsible for the production management and financial planning of their project.

Projects can be generated by industry requests, academic need and/or personal vision. Entrepreneurial activity is encouraged. In addition to the community service component of the program, all students in this major are encouraged to participate in off-campus employment in an area relevant to their field(s) of study.
