Major in Digital Art
Graphic design and digital art give visual expression to some of our most important ideas. At Linfield University, digital art majors work with emerging and industry-standard technologies to develop their personal style, integrate digital content with imagery and develop their own aesthetic sense. Students emerging from this program find careers in graphic design, illustration, marketing, web design and the fine arts, or continue on to further graduate study.
