The Parsons Communication Design BFA program encompasses typography, print design, data mapping, motion, sound, and spatial and environmental graphics, as well as branding, packaging, and advertising. The program is flexible, allowing students to develop their own individual courses of study, including electives both at Parsons and at other New School divisions.
Communication Design majors examine the social and cultural ramifications of communication. Students learn the art of persuasion by creating compelling messages, narrating them in meaningful ways, and crafting strategies to broadcast them to the world.
At every point students are encouraged to undertake real-world collaborative projects and to pursue internships and other work experiences in New York City studios, agencies, and offices.
Graduates pursue careers in advertising, motion and broadcast graphics, book and magazine design, package design, corporate branding, information visualization, interactive design, exhibition and retail design, architectural and environmental graphics, apparel design, and other fields.
