While a lot of colleges and universities – for better or worse – focus more on the artistic aspects of design in their curriculums, Kwantlen Polytechnic University takes a different – more practical – approach. The Graphic Design for Marketing program is a 4-year, full-time, Bachelor’s Degree program offered at the University’s Richmond, BC campus.

The program takes students through a well-rounded array of classes that allows them to get their feet wet in various disciplines of design – interactive, packaging design, branding and identity – while also studying marketing and business-related subjects, giving them an education that’s applicable in real world business situations.
