Graphic Design

We live in one of the most visually oriented societies in history, and advances in technology continue to make it more so. Graphic design is everywhere, and the influence of designers affects every aspect of modern life. Someone designed the packages that hold the products we buy, as well as the advertising (billboards, print, television, Web) that accompanies them.

ew professions contact as many individuals on a daily basis as does graphic design. In a world that is often confusing and gloomy, graphic designers help create clear communication and beauty for daily life. The field needs designers who understand the need to affect society and culture in ways that are constructive and positive.

At MVNU, we want to help students learn to do just that. As a graphic design student, you take core courses in graphic design, and then choose an area of emphasis in either art or communication, depending on your strengths and long-term goals.

Possibilities exist for double majors or minors in areas such as art, communication, print communication, or business administration. In class, you use sophisticated computers and learn software programs as well as employ traditional art processes. You study art history, color theory, design, and photography, all the while training your eye to learn what strong design really is, developing a personal aesthetic, and understanding how to work in a world of clients and message communication.


Music

Music enriches our lives, stirs our emotions, and stimulates our intellect. The pursuit of a career in music is a high calling, an area of service that makes the world a better place to live. As a music major, you will be prepared to engage the world as a skillful and thoughtful musician in your chosen endeavor.

The music programs at MVNU will provide you with solid training from seasoned professionals, offering experiences in classical and contemporary music in a variety of venues. Within the context of a liberal arts education, students are guided in the development of their God-given creative talents and abilities.

Outstanding faculty and excellent academic programs will provide you with the experiences necessary for a meaningful and productive future in the field, one that satisfies your personal and professional aspirations, uplifts the music profession, and serves the cause of Christ.
