For information, contact the Department of Art, 124 Art Building, 513-529-2900  

The mission of the Communication Design Minor is to enable learners to gain the communication design thinking, knowledge, and skills that will enhance their core area of study. Learners grow these competencies through exercises, projects, and learning experiences designed to develop practical, analytical, creative, emotional, and social intelligences. Those who complete the program are prepared to use their skills to develop and produce visual outcomes that communicate clearly, activating conceptual messaging and detailed aesthetic.

The Communication Design Minor is not open to Communication Design Majors. Nine credit hours must be unique to the Minor. A minimum overall GPA of 2.00 is required to complete the Minor. All courses must be taken for a grade (not credit/no credit).
