Illustrators Create the World They See

The world needs you to tell its stories. And in our Illustration Program you’ll learn the language of visual storytelling to inspire you to respond creatively to the issues that matter most to you today. Our program challenges you to explore everything from deeply personal insights to larger social issues -- and to make sense of it all on paper, canvas, and the digital screen.

Find Your Voice as an Illustrator

Imagine learning drawing techniques from a veteran cover illustrator for the New Yorker -- or honing your computer art skills with one of the founders of digital illustration. With guidance from industry mavericks like these, you’ll forge your own path as an illustrator. You’ll also get a larger sense of your artistic potential by blending illustration courses with interdisciplinary electives, like printmaking and creative writing.

Shape Your Career as an Entrepreneurial Artist

To succeed as an illustrator, you need a creative voice and an entrepreneurial mind. That’s why our program includes a trip to New York to meet industry-leading art directors and illustrators. It’s the reason our Illustration faculty, which includes award-winning and nationally recognized working illustrators, encourages you to take practical courses, too, like the fundamentals of freelancing. Because we believe your illustration career has endless possibilities, we’re here to help you seize them.
